Thank you XXXXXXX
Its 15 days after her expected period. She regularly takes One-A-Day pill once a day in which folic acid 400mcg is there. Shall I wait for a week or two. She is doing all good, she started these cravings some times, and some time not feel like eating. May be she is over thinking :). Please advise.

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound recommended
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
If it has been 15 days past her expected periods, then she can consult an OBGYN specialist.
An ultrasound can be done to assess the exact gestational age and Cardiac activity of the fetus.
She should continue folic acid once a day till 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Slight nausea, mood changes, drowsiness is normal in first trimester and there is nothing to worry.
