13wks4days: i use to eat large quantities, no thanks in part to binge eating disorder. Alas, ive been working my way thru complex PTSD trauma processing with my therapist; after 2 years of consistent work, im approaching the end. I cant tell if my tiny appetite is due to processing or pregnancy, but either way, i eat so little after feeling so hungry. I'm working on making a ham and potato soup! Utilizing the roast bone, im making the stock at the moment. My blood results were concerning, i have beta Thalassemia minor, so i never have a normal iron level. But, my cells were too small as far as beta thalassemia minor goes so i have to take iron supplement, and i got a huge migraine from them so i will take every other day and keep stocking up on vit c fruit. i hope it helps, generally I can't take iron supplements but baby needs it. Our middle son also has Beta Thalassemia minor.. Should find out gender in 2 weeks thanks to NIPT test. Italians generally dont do baby showers, and Greeks do them after baby is born. We were going to have a baby party after Lorian was born, but he needed surgery so we never were able to. Here, we are so far away from family, we are on our own, so we need all the time we can to get what we need. We have all the big furniture, just other smaller stuff and preparing house for the new arrival!
