Low iron

Anyone know of any tricks to get iron levels up?  I have to get mine up to a 10 in order to deliver at a birthing center. It's gone up to a 9.4 but still needing more. I've been taking a higher potency iron supplement with vit c twice a day- usually with orange juice and trying to up my protein.  Anyone know of any other tricks to get the iron up?  I'm getting my blood redrawn in two weeks and really hoping it will be the last time.
