I just want to know why you were doing this when you already have one kid? I understand going out of course, but drugs?

Most likely social services will be trying to help you. They will want to test you randomly now in order to ensure your home environment is one that is appropriate for kids (IE:  no drug use).  They'll also begin looking at who you live with because drugs in a home even if YOU aren't the one using them is considered an inappropriate home environment.

All you can do is live a clean lifestyle and comply with all requests.  You don't want drugs in your home any way with kids or to be around drug users, right?  

If you casually used one time at a random event, then it shouldn't be a huge issue for you.  Just be really honest with CPS and understand that their job and goal is to ensure safety of kids.  They don't want to separate moms from their kids.

with your history, I'd be very careful of any drug use.  There is a genetic component to addiction hon.  Addiction is also progressive in many cases.  So, I'd hate to see you go down that path!  good luck

My mom smoked meth when she was pregnant with me she had her pms through her whole pregnancy and didn't find out she was pregnant with me till she was 6months kinda like you but this was back in 1995 they didn't drug test you then, i was fine, I have low iron my whole life I don't know if that is a birth defect form her smoking meth or just me and I have ADD and ADHD but I found a way to use the ADHD IN college and made A's (but still don't know if it's form her smoking meth)
  And when I was 12 the DCHS  came to my house and drug test my mom and she failed it for meth and we got took straight form her and place in foster care the same day so be lucky they didn't take your  baby form you that day.
Just don't do it anymore and DONT try any detox pills or drinks because it might hurt the baby
Wish you best of luck

I honestly don't think they will take your babies. Don't do it again and it will leave your system soon. The doctors will test you every time you go in and CPS will see it is no longer in your system. They may put you on probation and monitor you. They probably will in fact and they will probably check your house too but you just stay clean and you and your babies will be ok.

Stop killing yourself over this second if you have a kid why the **** would you do cocaine or any drugs for that matter would u want that for your son like they see watt u do and with time understand that was really irresponsible. If you told your doctor you did the drug social services will be on your case and they will drug test you every visot until you give birth chances are social services will step in and take your kids away and label you unfit but you can fight it and take classes rehab etc. As for your new born.just pray your baby wont have a mental illness or be disabled because of your drug abuse. I personally dont think you should have your kids because i dont sympathize with drug abusers whether its your first or a hundred time you should know better. But we all **** up just be happy they dont arrest you and take you babies away for ever. I say get clean dont f up and get a lawyer fight for your kids you have three months to prove yourself so they dont take your baby too get your things together and dont give up fighting for them my cousin did meth with her lil girl and the babys healthy but they took her away and honestly it was for the best that girls is unstable and doesn't care u atleast care you sound like a decent mom

They reported u so u are probably gonna have random test done . once they see that ur levels aren't still the same or rising I don't think they would take your kids . its millions of people who do drugs and its not like u knew u was pregnant . idk if I'm one hundred percent accurate but prayer works and I would pray about this situation

Cocaine stays in your system for 3 days marijuana for 30 but since u are pregnant it takes less to leave your system because u have a high metabolism . I think that as long as u are clean when the baby is born and the baby system is clean u have nothing to worry about
