Need an advice

I think I might have become pregnant and if it is confirmed to be true, I am concerned. Because I did not know I could be pregnant I was consuming alcohol and smoking and think this might harmful. I don't know how serious this can be, but do I need to consider terminating pregrancy? Please kindly advise.

well i hope are okay. it depends on how far along you are. if it's less than two months talk to your doctor about how you can eep the baby. i would hate for you to lose it over the things you have done before hand. my only advice would be to stop drinking for sure ( maybe not smoking as much) until you know what the outcome of a handicapped baby is. right now it's so hard to adjust when you are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. but the most important thing would be to wait until you are ready for what will happen in the future. try to wing yourself off of those things that could endanger your baby. good luck.
