Default pilates pain question

Hi,
I've been doing pilates for about a month and I really like it! Although i haven't seen much change in my tummy, my posture has definitely improved--people have actually told me I look taller! The only thing is, a lot of times, my neck starts to hurt while i'm doing pilates and I have to rest. the instructor says its ok to take breaks but i feel i'm taking them because of my neck and not because of my abs (i did a lot of crunches and stuff before starting pilates so they're weren't really weak to begin with or anything). someone told me that our necks will get used to it eventually--is this true or is it just me and my technique? Even when doing crunches, my neck usually gets sore so i have to do stuff like reverse crunches, etc so i know i have a weak neck, but i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem when they first began pilates? thanks!
