Does smoking and drinking by the husband have any impact on the intelligence of the fetus?

Patient's question:

My husband smokes and drinks beer, but he usually drinks beer. However, he got pregnant around 10:10 in the morning. The night before he had sex, he drank two bottles of beer, but the night before that, he stayed up all night. He usually smokes and drinks beer, but he didn't smoke on the day he got pregnant. I really want this child, but will he grow up healthy or will he have any intellectual problems? I'm so scared. I'm taking folic acid, but will it affect his intelligence?

Doctor's answer:

Within one year of trying to conceive, it is best to quit smoking and avoid alcohol. If you are very eager, it is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups. Based on your situation, it is advised that you must follow the schedule for prenatal check-ups. Currently, there are more detailed examinations for detecting congenital deformities, and if there are any issues, they can be identified at an early stage. The above suggestions are for the question "Can my husband's smoking and drinking affect the intelligence of the fetus?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
