Doctor's answer:

Hello, the medication your husband takes does not affect your child at this time. Since you can get pregnant, it means his sperm is not problematic, and it also means the medication has no effect on him or the child. You can rest assured about this. Generally, it will not affect the health of the fetus. During pregnancy, it is important not to have a restricted diet. Your diet should be as diverse as possible, including a variety of high-quality protein foods, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid alcohol and coffee, quit smoking, and do not expose yourself to toxic substances or radiation sources. After continuing the pregnancy, you should have an empty stomach and go to the hospital for a prenatal screening between weeks 14 and 19 to prevent the birth of a child with Down syndrome. Between weeks 22 and 26, you can have a 4D ultrasound to screen for abnormalities before delivery.
