Iowa has a twelve year lookback, which would take you back to 1997.

I therefore think if your dates are accurate that you should only be charged with DUI first offense. If you do not have an attorney you should get one, because DUI 3rd offence in Iowa is a felony and that is to be avoided if at all possible. I see you are in Johnston. Feel free to call, I'm in Windsor Heights.
