Patient's question:
Three months into the pregnancy, I didn't realize I was pregnant because I had to drink beer after work and also smoked two packs of cigarettes. Will it affect the child? The time for the Down syndrome screening has passed, and the hospital can no longer screen. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women drinking beer and smoking secondhand smoke can affect the growth and development of the fetus, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, but the specific degree of interference is difficult to say. It is recommended that if the child is intended to be kept, a prenatal check-up must be done. If the time for the detailed screening of the triple test has passed, a non-invasive DNA test can be directly performed. A detailed 4D color ultrasound check-up should be done at 24 weeks of pregnancy. The above is advice on this issue, hoping it helps you, wishing you health!
