Will THC show up in my baby's meconium?

So I am 35 weeks pregnant, about to be 36, and (please don't judge) I smoked a little bit of weed yesterday. It wasn't much, just enough to get me high (I smoked because the pressure and pain on my lower spine is becoming unbearable). I am now worried that it will show up in my baby's meconium, and that CPS will visit us before we leave. I have no idea even if they will test my baby's meconium or not, since I keep hearing different things on the internet, I live in Texas, and can't get a straight answer. Please let me know anything soon, thanks!

Things now days are a lot different than say 20 or more years ago. Is that the one and only time u have smoked? If so it might not be enough to show up.  Almost all baby's born in the usa are tested for drugs at birth. Due to so many babies being born addicted to drugs. But good luck to you hope things turn out ok for you.

In Texas they will take a sample of the baby's blood or first bowel. It's standard and it takes 29 days to get outta your system so it may show up!

I don't know how Texas is but i live in Idaho and my mom smoked and smoked pot through all pregnancies. Not sure how much but enough. All baby's came out healthy and nobody tried taking any of us away.
