Get her urine examination done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your wife health care.
I can understand your concerns.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I have gone through her history and in my opinion you should get her urine examination done to see for hookworm, threadworm, parasite, pus cells, sugar.
She should maintain her hygiene ( vaginal and oral).
Please revert back to us with your reports.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards
