I can't believe I never had this craving in my last preg. as I love sushi. I
never wanted it, so, I never wondered this.
I try to limit my sandwich meats, cold cuts, and avoid things that pertain
to listeria. Sushi wouldn't be in this category, would it?? By "fake" sushi,

Got told yesterday that I needed more iron. Not a total surprise as I got
majorly low with #1-my dr. sister commented that she'd given blood
transfusions to people with better levels than I tested at. I assume that
I'm not that low as I was okay 5 weeks ago, but I can recognise a ...
