Cravings and anemia?

Hey, wondering if anyone can help as I can't get hold of my midwife to ask.

This might sound like a stupid question but I've heard a lot that craving very rare red meat is a sign of anemia.
I've literally wanted a blue steak for the last few weeks
Might sound vile to some but the bloodier the better haha (obviously haven't as toxoplasmosis risk) but wondered if its normal.

I'm 13+ weeks now so had my bloods done at booking at 9ish weeks and there was no problem there

I just had major aversions with my 1st baby so never really thought about it

Thanks 😊

I cant say that it isn't a sign but for me the signs of anemia was just extreme fatigue and low blood pressure (dizziness or passing out) 🤷‍♀️
