Re: passed the 1 hr test but...
I have low iron too. I found out at my 16 wk blood work and now they retested for it and I'm still low. I've been taking supplements but haven't been very religious about it. from what I gather it's hard to get the amount if iron we need to supplement our bodies with during pregnancy from
natural sources such as food.
truthfully I haven't changed my diet too much in an attempt to increase it but I've been prescribed a twice a day iron pill to get to where I should be.

Congrats on passing the 1 hour!! 
My iron was low and I've been on feosol twice a day. I got used to taking them because I have always been anemic but the pregnancy made it worse.
If you do take iron pills make sure you drink lots of water and eat some yogurt or fiber daily 
Helped me tremendously!!
