Yeah-ya! But you didn’t know.
Ive never been drug tested at my appts but was drug tested at birth. It just depends on your Dr’s office and hospital.

Uhm. Yea… they do. And no, you’re not safe if you smoke weed either. I live in a legal state and they will still call dcf for weed because it’s not legal federally.

Depends where you are
They used to be alot stricter with Marijuana in the past years, but for the last about 13, it’s been less
My doctor ran a full panel drug screen when I was pregnant. I guess it just depends on your doctor
He did at my first appointment. Looked at me told me I needed to stop smoking pot. Lol. Which I did just because I needed my system clean when baby is born. I wasn’t tested with my other two. Guess it’s the doctor or the guidelines they go by these days.
If they don’t suspect it they wont. But it varies on your State/ Doctor. Of course please think of your babies health and development first before Any drug. Not bashing. Best wishes

Yes they do, They run full panal tests they don’t do it in the office they send it out to lab
I dont recall that i ever was with both my pregnancies but i stopped smoking when i found out.
Unless they have a reason to suspect you’re on drugs they usually don’t but if you are on drugs, it’s a smart idea to quit immediately if you care about that unborn baby if not abort and carry on with the dope… (I’m in Canada, could be different across the world, I just know I’m pregnant never been drug tested and never worried cause I don’t do drugs anyways)

I have 3 kids, have access to lab results through mychart and I have never been drug tested while pregnant. They ask the regular do you drink or do any drugs and that was it
Yes every time you go doc.
Depends on your insurance. Private insurance is less likely to run a drug screen, but if you have government insurance, then yes they will run a drug screen at birth. This also depends on your state laws.
Pretty sure every time they have you pee in a test, (every appointment) they check for UTI and they do drug screening
Yup every time when you pee in the cup
In michigan no for marijuana/cannabis.
They test in Arkansas
If you have to ask this then please consider giving your child to a family who can care for it properly…

I just found out and at my first apt they did, they email all kinds of paper work to fill out and ask for permission to drug test( i don’t do drugs or smoke weed so I knew I was ok) but idk at every office, but yes they did just my first apt so far.
When I had my first set of labs my ob ran a full drug panel on me
It really just depends on state and even countys… no judgement here but please do what you can to keep you and baby safe

Y’all jump to conclusions sooo fast 
she could be asking for someone else, could be asking bc maybe it happened at an app and she was offended by it and wants to know if its normal. Like sheeesh everyone always thinks the worse instead of just answering the question:joy:
They test you every time you see the obgyn if you test positive for meth or opioids they make you meet with a drug addiction counselor and cps or dcfs depends on your state and your obgyn

I lived in washington with my last one they did when I was 34 weeks and the girl let me know that I would be tested the next time I was just like ok I never did anything lol. It depends on the Dr. And if it’s for hardcore drug use figure out what your gonna do to stop.
Y’all don’t even know what kind of drugs and y’all just judging . I smoked a lot of weed. When I found out I stopped though but can’t wait to smoke again
Yes but if your totally honest sometimes the Dr is cool with it mine didn’t have a problem with it when i was pregnant with my twins but that was in 2016 but still be honest with your Dr.

Just stop everything now 
Yes they do. And my insurance didn’t cover it, got a $200 bill for it. Never done drugs in my life. But because other people make poor choices, I get stuck with the consequences. I get that it is to protect unborn babies, but $200. Really?

Yes and sometimes every visit. Idk what you’re doing but you gotta get clean asap hun.

If you give birth high in the US they will call CPS. If you’re using opioids, the safest thing for baby, should you decide to keep it is methadone for pregnancy (I’m a drug and alcohol counselor nobody come at me). They may do a drug test as a battery of other blood tests and work ups if you consent to that but depending on what you’re using you need to take precautions now to avoid long term damage and severe withdrawals when baby is born.
Yes, but some doctors are cool about it fyi for all these hating A$$ people I know allot of people that smoked bud up until baby was almost born and doctors we not against it. I smoked with my first my doctor encouraged it actually bc I stopped smoking when I found out I was prego but then I could not eat had 0 cravings or appetite and my doctor told me to go back to my daily routine just to cut back on how much I did smoke and As long as you stop smoking when your about 6months so you can detox and both yest negative. You will be just fine 
Texas yes every appointment

Yes. Especially if you’re getting state medical assistance.
I didn’t get drug tested at all during my pregnancy but once my daughter was born we were both tested
If you were a drug user be honest with your doctor tell them what’s up and stop doing drugs. If you need help ask for it.
Some people shouldn’t have kids!

Honestly I would just be honest with the dr because it could effect you’re birth plan or even the baby and its health.
Also. Where are the nails and when did this become Ask Nails??

They don’t necessarily test for drugs but they might check urine and blood for other things and maybe it’ll show drugs in your system but they normally don’t check leave the drugs alone if u plan on having the baby before it’s too late and damage is done flush them out with fluids especially water
Yeah. They will throughout pregnancy and at the hospital too.

Yep every appointment.
So much judgement here, it’s sickening. But to answer your question, yes, most likely you will be tested at some point. There is a lot of help for pregnant women who are struggling with drug or alcohol use. Please be honest and reach out for help. Now is the perfect time to start a new chapter. I wish you all the best

These comments were gross and judgmental. Not even 100% sure what this page is but This was whack 
Yes ur blood is tested!
Tf is this shit. Mannn I’m out. If you have to be told not to do drugs if you could be pregnant you need a fucking drunk test. Gtfo.
Depends on the doctor
When I found out I was they drug test me and I failed for weed and they tried to make me take substance abuse classes. I’m like damn when I smoked I didn’t know I was pregnant but stopped once I found out. But that was back on 2001 so idk about now
Yes threw your blood
Yes, if it’s not out your system by 28 weeks along, they call child protective services
Yes and they don’t necessarily tell you until after it’s positive! They give you a chance to get clean however if your baby tests positive for ANYTHING they will call child protective services and you won’t see your baby until 1 you’re clean 2 your house is fit and you’ll have an open cps case for a long time it’s a mess not worth dealing with

It’s no different than people who don’t realize their pregnant and drink. It’s not like it intentional. I smoked up until I found out I was pregnant then I quit. People are so judgmental.
Not in chicago unless you look like some type of addict…
Drug text each trimester ! Kaiser is every dr visit!
In Florida they will test you at birth for a fact, they will not allow you to breastfeed if you are positive and dcf will be called. Don’t know what will come of it but they did it to a friend of mine.
I had to give em a sample every visit, they check about ur proteins n other stuff but even though they never tell ya about it, they still do. Once ur baby is born they too will be tested. I’m in NC so idk about other states
Depends on the state and circumstances

Yes especially the first one. Some don’t after that unless you tested positive at the first one. I’d tested positive at my first appt bc I’d gone to the ER the day before and was given pain medicine. They saw that it was given to me by a doctor and they still randomly drug tested me on one or two pre natal visits.
Damn. I thought this was a nail group:thinking:

In Australia unless you are on welfare’s radar & there is a court order they’re not allowed to report it without fearing for the safety of the child. Regardless l, This question is fucked up. What drugs are we talking about here? Time to quit, it’s not about you anymore. . And yes, I am Judgemental when it comes to the safety of a child. I have had friends have smoked all through their pregnancy claiming that it stopped them being sick and the kids have come out very small. If someone didn’t want to give up their lifestyle someone shouldn’t have gotten pregnant.
Everytime they take anything from you they check it all. My friend lost her kid because they kept all her test results in her file and called cps when the kid was born. She hasnt seen her kid since.
Yes they test for everything when ask for a pee test
Depends on your dr ive never heard of random weed blood tests if your not a known drug user

If you been smoking weed before you found out just say that and just stop they do check while their checking for your proteins in your urine… I’m due on Monday and I was honest with my doctor since day one. They did tell me to stop which I did at 5 months because it helped with the nausea… don’t listen to these dummies who apparently never done anything in they life but lay on their backs but have an opinion and want to freakin judge someone 
NOW if your doing something besides smoking Weed than sweetheart you have a problem and need to stop before Dcf if sitting next to you after you deliver that baby and will be on your life for the first 60 days of your baby’s life.just know drugs or no drugs if your baby is going to be born with a genetic disease or a deformity they just are…
3 babies and I’ve never been drug tested x
