Drug testing newborn?

Okay, I know this sounds super horrible but I'm just wondering if anyone knows if they do routine drugs tests on newborns. I smoked weed a month ago now because I was stressed out beyond belief and I'm just really paranoid they're going to test my baby for it. I'm 31 weeks now. I live in Colorado and have a medical marijuana card. Although it expired a few months ago. I'm worried they might test me or my baby for that reason exactly. Please no rude comments :( I would hate myself if I lost my baby to cps...

I'm pretty sure they test the baby. I think your fine just don't smoke again before baby is born. I don't think they would take your baby away right away they would give u a chance to quit and probably test u a few times and then it would be over.
