Yes it has an impact on sperm health as cited above. Remember the quality of sperm/dads health also affects the strength and effectiveness of placenta too.

To go with what the others said, yeah...... your husband needs to stop smoking. Is he open to looking into sources to help him quit and support groups?

Well my partner smokes and we have two healthy children but we've also had two miscarriages so I don't really know. I say it's the luck of the draw. We do plan to have a third someday but we'll see what happens.

Yes it does. Drinking, smoking, bad diet definitely affects sperm quality and can cause things like miscarriages, high risk pregnancy, placenta issues and affect the baby’s health. The man’s DNA is mainly responsible for making the placenta and the placenta dictates how healthy your pregnancy will be, the symptoms you’ll experience, it can affect how you will give birth (high risk or not) as well as impact the baby of course. It’s not all on the woman like it was previously thought.

There is a new study saying if your male partner is fit and healthy 9months before you get pregnant its a better chance of having a healthy baby

My dad was a smoker, and we have 5 kids in the fam. My uncle was also a smoker and heavy drinker and his wife had 6 kids.

Hi ladies,
When did you all get your first positive result? I’m roughly 10 dpo and periods not due for another 4 days (ish). Tested today on an early test and it was negative, although I’m CONVINCED I am pregnant. Baby number 3 so should be less clueless by now 🤣

Hiya! Had my first ever positive on Friday
Digital is showing 1-2 but just nervous about my progression lines!
2nd to last test was first urine this morning and then last test was 2 hours later as I was concerned about the lack of progress
Is this normal? X
