Hello, Karleen. I checked HERB CONTRAINDICATIONS AND DRUG INTERACTIONS by Francis Brinker, ND (2d ed., c 1998). Couldn't find any cautions about drug interactions for blessed thistle or goats rue, although it did state that goats rue can lower blood sugar levels so may be of concern for diabetics. Fenugreek contains water-soluble, hydrocolloidal fiber which can create mucilage that can coat the intestines and thereby reduce absorption of medicines. Based on this, the mother would probably want to be sure to take the fenugreek at different times than when she takes her citalopram and oroxine (synthroid, in USA), and might even want to avoid it entirely and instead stick to the blessed thistle and goats rue.
