well, its quite common to be drinking and if you are a smoker, than to be smoking if you didn't know you were pregnant. However, if you were trying to get pregnant, its a good thing to quit those things before hand. Don't stress yourself out, its a common thing to happen, as long as you don't drink or smoke anymore while pregnant. But congrats on the pregnancy! :)
