My husband drinks occasionally and now that we are planning, im wondering if it matters from his side too. Everyone only talks about the womans habits na. Just want to understand.
Unless he is drinking your share of coconut water, it won't physically affect the baby at this stage! But yes, he should stay sober enough to drive you to the hospital when the time comes.
Once you are already pregnant, his drinking doesn't directly affect the baby's development in your womb. However, it's best if he limits it now to support you and keep the home environment stress-free.
I understand how much we worry about every little thing affecting our precious baby. Physically it won't affect the pregnancy now, but you need his full support and a peaceful mind right now.
I totally understand your concern, dear. Your husband's drinking won't physically harm the baby inside you, but keeping a happy, loving, and sober environment is so important for your emotional health.
It doesn't affect the fetus once you have already conceived. But honestly, having a drinking partner around when you are pregnant is just stressful, so ask him to cut down for your peace of mind.
Scientifically, paternal drinking during pregnancy doesn't affect fetal growth, though heavy drinking before conception can impact sperm quality. For your peace of mind, you can always ask your doctor during your next visit.
