First : First of all probiotics are generally safe in pregnancy. Your wife may be asking about a friend or is contemplating pregnancy or uses probiotics and is wondering if she could still take them if she is pregnant.

Probiotics: Rather than hoping that your wife isn't pregnant - just go ahead and ask her. Usually probiotics are safe in pregnant women
