Is it okay to have this child if your husband smokes regularly?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: I haven't had my period for less than a week, then I bought a pregnancy test, which showed positive. My husband usually smokes, but not more than 10 cigarettes, and on the day of ML (presumably referring to sexual intercourse), he also had a bit of alcohol. I'm very worried about whether I can keep this child.
History of Treatment and Effect: I have not been to the hospital for any check-ups.
Help Needed: I really want to know if I can keep this child?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, from the perspective of eugenics, a husband's frequent smoking can affect the fetus. It is important to undergo prenatal check-ups. Additionally, according to medical regulations, the due date is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. The entire pregnancy lasts for 280 days, which is equivalent to 10 gestational months (with each gestational month being 28 days). To determine the due date month, add 9 or subtract 3 from the month of the last menstrual period; to determine the due date day, add 7 to the day of the last menstrual period.
Recommendation: The due date does not necessarily mean that delivery will occur on that exact day. It is merely an estimated timeframe, and giving birth within two weeks before or after the due date is considered normal.
