Does drinking alcohol affect the baby?

Patient's question:

I am 21 years old, my last menstrual period was on 10.18. I got drunk on the night of 11.10, and then I didn't have my period in November. At the end of the month, I was carefully checked and found out that I was pregnant. Will it affect the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended to avoid smoking and drinking during the pre-pregnancy period and throughout pregnancy to prevent the recurrence of fetal malformations or congenital diseases. Based on your description of the condition, it is possible that you have already given birth successfully, but drinking alcohol during the early stages of pregnancy carries a high risk of teratogenicity to the fetus. It is advisable to consider this carefully. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Does drinking alcohol affect the baby?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
