Patient's question:
Hello! By chance, I discovered that my wife is pregnant last month. I am a man who smokes heavily. I heard from the doctor that it's recommended to quit smoking for one to two months before pregnancy. But now, before I had time to quit smoking, my wife got pregnant unexpectedly. I am really worried about whether this will affect the future baby and if babies born to smoking fathers have health problems. Could you please explain this to me?Doctor's answer:
That's also why parents planning for eugenics should aim for about half a year. If not, three months is also acceptable. Many who didn't smoke still gave birth to healthy babies, and it's actually better to quit smoking in this case. Generally, doctors recommend that patients with signs of eugenic risks should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing patients a healthy delivery.
