drug testing

[newmom1024]

Do they drug test newborns at hospital for thc? What if there is low level?

[mrsreeder2be]

Yes they do. And there's a chance your baby could be taken if there is ANY trace amount of drugs in their system.

Some hospitals do and some don't. However, if there are drugs in the Babys system they are suppose to call cps even if its at a low dose. However if one tells their doctor that it might be expected, it can make a huge difference in whether cps is called or not. My friend had her baby taken away from the hospital because of thc :(

Where I live they only do if your on medicade or if they suspect you to be on drugs.

The information from other posts on here are true &they say it's okay to smoke m when you're pregnant, and by they I mean people who,are users cause in all reality it's BAD for the baby. Stay away from it. If it's around you secondhand, tell whoever to move away.

I told my dr I smoked due to sickness and insomnoa and he told me they wont drug test unless they suspect the mother is a bad drug addict. Drug tests cost a lot of money. But it really depends on the hospital. But I would for sure tell ur doctor because that way he's aware and wont order one.

It's required if you're on state insurance, and any amount warrants a cps call, good luck!

Our hospitals drug test as well as my doctors office and I am not on state insurance.

My mom says that they drug test your water bag and everything that you've done will show up in your amniotic fluid. she said thc is such a big deal and they can tell how much you have smoked.

I smoke ad the beginning with my son wen I didnt kno I was preg. N stopped wen found out n then smoked a lil to help with nausea cuz I was losing too much weight I was sick all day but wen nausea went away I stopped I tld them wen they asked but never drug tested me

[Boy24]

I am on state insurance and was never drug tested...i think its based on where u live and the hosptial...

[crstl11]

I know some people who smoke that and she quit but was around it everyday and was on Medicaid and her baby wasn't taken away...I don't know if the baby would have had thc in his system from second hand or not

[Destani214]

Just stop now I promise you they WILL drug test you and your baby...I know for sure just trust me

[red_neck_momma]

I smoked with my 1st 2 pregnancies an I have both my children. I stopped smoking when I found out i was pg this time just cuz I'm.n a new city an I'm not sure if the hospitals here test

Well I dnt smoke an my Dr office test every visit. And my sister had used my Dr n I told her to stop bt she didn't so by the time she did it wasn't in her system anymore bt was still in her unborn child so wen she had my niece Sumbodi had to go n sign for temporary custody fa the baby so she wudnt have to go with cps. So in the state of TX sweeti they check for all drugs even pain killers so I advise u to stop bcuz cps isn't anything to play with I wouldn't wish that on anyone
