Is a child born after alcohol consumption during pregnancy healthy?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
Hello doctor!
Two days ago at noon, I drank alcohol, but not a lot. Last night, we had sexual intercourse. My wife is exactly in her ovulation period. Please ask, if I get pregnant, will the child be healthy??
How long does alcohol stay in the body after drinking??

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the early stage of pregnancy is a critical period for embryonic development, and it is important to avoid exposure to any factors that may have a negative impact on pregnancy.
Advice: Based on your description, if the male partner consumes excessive alcohol, it may affect the quality of sperm. However, if the female partner does not drink alcohol during pregnancy, the impact would be relatively minor, and it could be considered.
Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of potential genetic risks for healthy reproduction maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest.
Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
