She will be give iron tablets or which tablets contain iron and folate both, because iron and folate both are important for her and her baby growth. It is a very good idea for her to take the tablets, right after a main meal.
She should not take the iron tablets with tea or coffee. Because iron and coffee prevent the body from using the iron properly.
