Is it healthy for the baby if the husband smokes during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello: You just found out you are pregnant, not more than 20 days. According to my husband, the time when he caused me to get pregnant, he felt very tired at that moment. Whether he drank alcohol or not, he can't remember. Maybe he did. My husband has a strong smoking habit and has been smoking all along. It's possible that he had a cold that day and took medicine. I want to have this child, but I wonder if it will be healthy? Will there be any impact on intelligence? I'm very worried.

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 standards, 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 (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. The due date does not necessarily mean that delivery will occur on that exact day—it is merely an estimated timeframe. Delivering within two weeks before or after the due date is considered within the normal range.
