Yes I had low iron with my first pregnancy but everything went back to normal after I gave birth. I had to take the pills 3 times a day also.

Here are a few articles from MedHelp.org and the I'm Expecting app on nutrients you need in pregnancy, and how to get them from foods!

I've specifically posted the slide on iron in this one, from Week 3:

And from Week 16, this story lists several ways to get more iron:

Good luck getting your levels up!

If I were you I'd look for foods that have high iron content.  Your body will find it easier to break those down and use it. Still take the pills, but try to get more iron in your regular diet too.
