Yes, she can have threptin biscuits. They have good protein content. Vitamin A is required for all people in a certain amount. Please see her doctor to determine her requirement as per the stage of pregnancy she is at. To meet her requirements of iron, though they may not suffice, iron rich foods are egg, red meats, green leafy vegetables, garden cress seeds etc. Include these regularly in the diet.
