Patient's question:
The object smokes and drinks beer. I'm almost 3 months pregnant. I didn't plan to get pregnant, but it happened. This weekend, I'll have a detailed NT check. I'm so scared that my partner's smoking and drinking beer will interfere with the child. I'm getting more and more anxious. I'm really scared that there will be problems with the NT this weekend and the doctor will tell me to terminate the pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Your partner's smoking and drinking beer can interfere with sperm quality, but nothing is absolute. It is recommended that you first relax your mind and undergo an NT check. The NT check is a measurement of the thickness of the translucent layer at the neck of the fetus and should be performed in detail between 9-13 weeks. Between 14-19 weeks, undergo a prenatal screening test, and between 22-26 weeks, have a 4D ultrasound to rule out any fetal abnormalities. It is also important to relax and maintain regular prenatal check-ups.
