Does smoking and drinking affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

The object smokes and drinks beer. I'm two and a half months pregnant. I didn't plan to get pregnant, but it happened. In a week, 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 nervous.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, smoking and drinking beer by the man can affect getting pregnant, but the specific impact is unclear. Generally, such abnormalities will never occur again. Currently, you can take folic acid orally to prevent cardiovascular malformations in the fetus. If prenatal examinations are performed regularly and the gestational sac grows and develops normally, it is highly unlikely to have abnormalities. During the first three months of pregnancy, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited to prevent miscarriage.
