Your baby develops the fastest during the first trimester - especially the first few weeks. Smoking and drinking during the first few weeks of pregnancy can effect the baby.

Smoking while pregnant increases the mother's risk of having a miscarriage. It also decreases the mother's folic acid which increases the risk for neural tube defects. Smoking during pregnancy can lead to a baby that is small for his gestational age.

Drinking during pregnancy is also linked to an increase risk of having a miscarriage. Additionally, alcohol is associated with fetal alcohol syndrome and the baby could suffer possible fetal abnormalities.

It's safest for the mother and her baby if the mother develops a healthy lifestyle before she becomes pregnant. If you are already pregnant, take the necessary steps to improve your health as soon as possible so your baby doesn't suffer any consequences.

Does puberty stop if you drink alcohol?

No, alcohol doesn't affect puberty, but you really shouldn't be drinking at a young age because it's usually illegal to do so. Although drinking doesn't affect puberty, puberty appears to affect drinking. A study of young people has found that early onset of puberty predicts consumption of alcohol and intoxication among both males and females. It also predicts smoking, drug use, and both sex and unprotected sex at an earlier age. Among boys, early puberty predicts fighting and other aggressive behaviors. The findings are consistent with mounting evidence that early age of drinking does not cause later alcohol-related problems, but that both are caused by earlier-occurring events or characteristics.

As soon as you want to get that uncertainty out of your life. If you are pregnant and planning to keep it there are things (smoking, drinking etc) you should quit immediately in the best interest of the baby.
