Hormonal and a thallasemia carrier

Hi ladies. Just having a bit of a vent as I have become really unsociable with this pregnancy and don't feel like I can talk to anyone at the moment

I have found out that my blood test results have come back as being a carrier for thallasemia. Which doesn't come as a surprise as they found it in my first pregnancy. They tested their father and he came back negative so all was ok

12years later I have a new partner and he now too needs to be tested for it.

Also my iron levels are too low so need to wait for my prescription for iron tablets.

Maybe this is why I'm extra fatigued lately.

I hate waiting for all these results i get too anxious and recently feel a bit depressed the past few days.
I don't want to have a conversation with my mother or my partner I just want to sleep and lay in bed with my thoughts. I'm just angry and so hormonal at the moment and can't even put my finger on what's making me feel this way. I know it's pregnancy hormones but I'm hoping i feel better soon.
Had a crappy first trimester which hasnt helped.
Any other expectant mums just feeling a bit under the weather?
I'm 13+4 so nearly in my second trimester.

I felt knackered from about 4 weeks to 16 weeks. I spent a lot of my time sleeping and I don't have low iron.
