She should take iron and multivitamin tablet. Also take tetanus injection. Better to consult gynecologist and start appropriate treatment. Ultrasound examination of abdomen is also needed for fetal well being.
Please hit thanks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Many many congratulations for the good news and start of a new phase of life.
She needs extra care and love from your side now.
Take a note of the following points -
- ask her to have a good rest of at least 8 hours at night and 1-2 hours in day time
- avoid exertion
- take ample amount of water
- ask her to take good amount of milk and green leafy vegetables
- almonds and walnuts are very good and should be taken on daily basis
- avoid any kind of stress
- Start folic acid tablets daily now.
No need to take prenatal vitamins as yet as they are given after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Get an ultrasound after 2-3 weeks to see for the cardiac activity if the baby.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to answer
Regards
Dr Manisha
