Alcohol and drugs??

I'm just curious when you go to your prenatal appointment and you pee in the cup can they see if there's alcohol or drugs in you?
P.s... I don't do neither  just CURIOUS

I was tested the first time and never told about it until it came back positive for marijuana. I stopped but I think they still continue to test every time.

My doctors take a pee sample every visit and drug test every time they even ha e signs up that if you fail one it will be reported and they will call dss when baby is born (i don't do anything but that's my Dr's office)

Most doctor's do check for drugs when you are signing all your paper work for the doctor it says it in there and they test you at time of birth if you test dirty they can take your baby away

Ever time you pee in a cup they check. An no they don't have to tell you. An nothing will happen if you do. But if u do test positive when the baby comes out. They call dss on you. I smoked up until I was six months.

Standard procedure dictates that they tell you upon asking for the sample what they are testing for. Also, you are should always be able to ask them what the sample is for, but safe bet: if you don't do those things they won't show up in your system.

My OB did a drug test on me my first visit and didn't know until I got the bill and I was charged for it. Nothing was ever mentioned about it though (I smoked weed up until I found out I was pregnant). I changed my OB shortly after that though
