Do all hospitals test the placenta?

Just curious I guess..

Not sure where u live but in Canada they don't test for drugs unless they have been told/flagged or have suspicion. If it is weed and ur not far along I wouldn't worrie...just stop now as it dose stay in ur fat cells for up to a month. Thats if ur a heavy smoker. They will check the babies urine for drugs. But again olny if they have reason too. Not sure in the states tho as I have herd they do but those mom were flagged.

No darling.  but they will ask questions so just be honest :) xx I tested positive but I just explained myself and they checked my house tp make sure i had everything the baby needed/was tidy etc. and nothing happen :)

If the blood or urine come back positive for THC will CPS take the baby away?

They don't check the placenta for drugs. They check your blood. They will check  babies urine and babies poop if your blood is positive for anything. They will also check baby if your blood or urine was ever positive during pregnancy or if baby has withdrawal symptoms. CPS is notified of any positive results.

If smoking pot just stay away from him and don't do it urself. Some hospitals call cps and I wouldn't think that is a risk worth taking.

They can't pick up second hand smoke through the placenta.

Well I'm around my bf that smokes and didn't know if it'll come up in the poop or placenta or not.

Are you asking for drug reasons?? They check baby poop for that. They check the placenta our to make sure they got it all. But never heard of testing it.
