Hello
Welcome here.
I understand your concerns.
Pot smoking in father will not affect the developing fetus.
In your case, regular alcohol can definitely affect the baby's development.
There is a risk of lexapro causing effect of baby development but only on regular use.

Hope this answers your query.
Thanks.
