Answer
Daniel,

Is she taking them now? If she has only taken them as the doctor has ordered and is not taking them now she should be fine. Relax and just make sure that the doctor you are seeing on Wednesday is aware of this and they will be able to help you out with any concerns you may have and realize they are experts in that field so they will take care of her. It will be ok, enjoy the new news that you are going to be a dad. Congratulations. RELAX.
Take Care.
