Patient's question:
My husband has a heavy smoking habit, smoking at least one pack of cigarettes every day, sometimes two packs. He also frequently drinks alcohol. In this situation, I became pregnant. I know it was the night of the 12th that caused me to conceive, but I can't remember if he drank that night. He only said he was very tired that day. We had promised that if we ever wanted children, he would stop smoking and drinking two months in advance. But now, before we were ready, I got pregnant. Please ask, in this situation, will the child be healthy? Can I keep it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, smoking by men can affect the fetus, making it easier to cause fetal malformations. It is recommended to quit smoking and drinking, and to go to the hospital for an early pregnancy test to check the development of the fetus.
