I don't know how long it stays in your system but I think they'll not only test but they'll look for withdrawal symptoms. If baby is withdrawing they'll still have plausible cause to take baby out of her care.
They have to automatically test the baby because she has a child in care. The Child we have tested positive for 3 different drugs when born. It all has been such a sad situation. If anyone else has any info on if it stays in the babies system for extended period of time please let me know. Thanks
The thing they will look for in the hospital isn't Cocaine in their systems; they'll be looking at the baby for withdrawal which does take time and is absolutely heart-wrenching and agonizing.
Cocaine I belive stays in the mother's system for 3 days after last use. But this depends how much, how often. We had a family friend go through this. But Im not sure about how long it takes to leave the baby. Marijuana stays longer. She had stopped smoking at 6 months of pregnancy and the baby tested positive at birth. Im not sure how long for sure any of these stay. Good Luck to you and sadly I hope the baby doesnt suffer because of the drug use
