Best rule of thumb I've found for eating in the early stages is eat what does sound good to you, even if you are eating the same things over and over for awhile. My regular appetite usually has returned around the 3rd or 4th week of the 2nd trimester. That said, there were some things I just couldn't stand all the way through--hot dogs and most things with ground beef were the ones that bothered me.

My doctor actually had me start taking iron tablets after the last bloodtest. I've been taking prenatals since at least 8 months prior to getting pregnant, and I know it does contain iron, but I guess maybe not enough? As for ice cream cravings...I'm probably one of those people who has been craving for ice cream since I was a baby (lol), so even if I AM craving for ice cream, I probably wouldn't have noticed anything different. I did notice that I'm going back to the fridge for milk quite frequently. Its funny how your appetite completely changes during pregnancy.

We have our 2nd appointment next week. Although I know we probably won't get to 'see' the baby this time, I'm looking forward to it.
