meconium testing on newborns?

What does oxyxodone and hydrocodone show up as on meconium testing on newborns? Does it show up as an opiate? How does the whole test work?

I admitted to using hydrocodone occasionally throughout pregnancy for pain but bo prescription. But never said anything about oxycodone because it was only 3-4 times since my 5th month. And I'm currently 35 weeks.. Just curious to know how the meconium testing works, if they do the test even if blood and urine come back negative and how many ng/ml or mg of these opiates would have to be in the meconium for CP's to be involved?
