25 Weeks Pregnant, CBC Shows Low RBC, Hematocrit, Hb Compared To Previous Month. Should I Take Ferrous Supplements?

I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and I ve just got my results from CBC which look different from those performed at 2 months: RBC 3.47 (in comparison with 4.61), Hb 11 g/dl (14.5 previous) and hematocrit 32.8% (36%); all erythrocyte indexes are normal. Could that be dilutional anemia of pregnancy? Should this improve in the third trimester? I m not taking ferrous supplements , just a multivitamin complex Femibion 2. Should I supplement it?
