She said she JUST found out. Meaningā€¦ she had no idea she was pregnant when said drug use occurred. It was not a CHOICE to put her baby at riskā€¦ she was fully unaware there was a baby! Now she knows. But what she did before she knew is really none of anyoneā€™s business or place to judge.

PS not every person that has done a drug is an addictā€¦ soo donā€™t throw out how addicts shouldnā€™t have babies. She could very well not be the slightest bit addicted. I have plenty of stories about college. Keep judgments to self until you have all info.

Wow!!! People are so quick to judge!!! What a disgusting world we live in!! Yes maā€™am they test but CPS doesnā€™t get involved unless you or baby or both are positive when you give birth. Iā€™m in Florida and thatā€™s how they do it.

People really donā€™t need to be fucking judging hell she could be smoking weed and thatā€™s perfectly fucking fine which is probably why she asked if they drug test not even that some people can be on prescription drugs like adhd pills and things like that so keep you judgmental shit to your self

In the state of Ohio your OB canā€™t legally drug test you unless they are telling you they are doing so. When they have you pee in a cup is to check your protein levels they donā€™t test for drugs. FYI. But when they do blood tests they do and will see it. But legally they canā€™t drug test you unless they are advising you they are. :raised_hand:t2: per my own OB OFFICE, and doctor. I donā€™t even smoke weed but for others who really wanna know. Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve been told and have been advised sense my two boys were born, and now that Iā€™m about to have my third.

Yes usually some doctors make a big deal some donā€™t with marijuana being legal idk

Yup. The 1st visit and the last visit for sure .

Not all OBs test for drugs. I know mine doesnā€™t! He will only test if he suspects drug usage!

Yes they take your blood and test for everything pretty much

Itā€™s depends on the dr

So many opinions and judgement on this post and no facts, sad. She never said sheā€™d continue, sheā€™s practically 5 minutes pregnant seeking guidance.

To answer your question, IF/WHEN THEY TEST YOU VARIES STATE TO STATE. Find out if they do within your state.

So let me just put my own personal experience out there I was 5 months pregnant when I found out I was pregnant. I was also addicted to heroin and meth. I found out I was pregnant in treatment. My daughter is now 4 and is healthy. She was healthy when she was born and had nothing in her system my advice be up front and honest cps came to the hospital they tested the umbilical cord and she had nothing! If itā€™s weed again just be honest. Gotta love haters that jump on the bandwagon quick to judges oh and I have almost 5 years sober

They will test you if you tell them you have done something yes. But no they do not just test you to find out if you are positive for something. There would be a ton of people in trouble for things that may have happened recently before you knew. Good gosh people

Calm down she asked if they drug tested. She didnā€™t state she was on drugs or was going to do them. Maybe she did before she found out. And is worried. So many perfect parents on here. :rofl::joy::rofl:

You have to give a urine sample at every visit.

I smoked throughout my pregnancyā€¦

Yeah they do they did both times when I was pregnant with my kids

Yes, my doc tested at every visit

always tell them the truth because they can see it in your blood work. you have dr patient confidentiality but if you lie to them they will say you have a problem. if you offer the info before being asked they will just ask you to stop unless its marijuana. they dont care too much about that so long as you keep it to a minimum and are honest.

Pretty sure it depends on the state you are in but I donā€™t believe they can just test for drugs without your consent. I do believe in most states they have the right to test the baby at the hospital if itā€™s showing signs of withdrawal

Yes they test for drugs, please for baby get straight,no more drugs, Prayers and Blessings :pray:t2::sparkling_heart:

Depends on if you act like you are under the influence of drugs.

And if you are. Just stop. They have programs and treatment for pregnant women coming off drugs.

Yes in wa state we do

Donā€™t understand why people are laughing its just a question

Only if they have a suspicionā€¦I mean if you come in wreaking of marijuana or alcohol or acting out of the usual, then they will test automatically-at least thatā€™s how we did it at the place I worked

I would say it depends on what ā€œdrugā€ your worried about marijuana yes there is doctors out there that test but donā€™t care more hardcore drug are tested and reported even before birth

Depends on the doctor and if itā€™s funded by the state. For the sake of the child please refrain from doing it and if youā€™re addicted, seek help.

Yes they do. According to HIPPA laws they cant report you for it, as far as Iā€™m aware. But they need to know so if you need to be put on medication or theres an emergency then they can adequately treat you without any fatal effects.

Some do I was always drug tested at every appointment from 1st to birth

They ask at initial appt when they start paperwork if you partake in drugs etc. Theyll find out when they do bloods anyway so just be honest

I smoked marijuana thru my whole pregnancy. I was in and out of the hospital a good 14 times during my 37 weeks of pregnancy. Never once did anyone say anything about marijuana being in my system. I worried so much when I got closer to my due date so I straight up asked my doctor. He told me that marijuana wasnā€™t a big deal and that it wasnā€™t routine to do a drug test unless there was suspicion of drug use or if the baby was going through withdrawals. Now, if it had been any other drug, Iā€™m pretty sure a red flag would have been raised, but with marijuana i think no one really cared.

Be honest with your dr for your babys sake.
I drank alcohol the day before I found out I was pregnant. But after I found out I quit of course. Much love!

Yes especially the 1st one and the last 3 months before the baby is born

Yes. They used to just do it at first visit but now its every visit and when u deliver.

Look eating a poppy seed muffin can make your drug test dirty and have them calling the state! No joke. Narcotics anonymous meetings are great or AA you will find relief! I could help find you one or Google a local meeting. Sometimes things can go wrong even when your not putting anything into your body so donā€™t take any chances with baby please reach outā¤

Not normally.

Maybe you shouldnā€™t be thinking about having a child if youā€™re involved with drugsā€¦just a shot in the dark, idk. :bulb::roll_eyes:

I donā€™t know where you live or what your situation is. When I worked in L&D, sometimes they would test the mom or the baby. I was never told exactly who gets tested. As for me, I was actually prescribed opiates while pregnant but was afraid to take them. I was never tested. I know a baby who was damaged by maternal drug use. Both mom and baby tested positive for meth but nothing was ever done about it. If you canā€™t stop the drugs, be honest to the clinic. Maybe they have treatment programs that can show you are making an effort.

You all are ridiculous. She JUST found out, damn. Yā€™all are pissing me off & Itā€™s not even my pregnancy. She asked a question so give the answer & stop assuming shit. Ugh. Yes love, they will test ur urine every visit. I had this same issue & tested positive at my first appointment for marijuana. The nurse nor the Doctor wasnā€™t judgemental. Just informed me to quit, which was a no brainer. My child is 8yrs old & healthy. I wish you the absolute best & Congratulationsā¤

It will show up in the blood test.

Early prenatal care is a must!
Just trust in your doctor. When I found out I was 6weeks pregnant, I informed my doctor of the amount of alcohol I consumed during my stay at my in-laws, pre- and post- Thanksgiving weekend. I had an ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks and we thought it could be a natural miscarriage.
As soon as I found out, I stopped drinking altogether.
They can also help you fine support. I had my doctor and they also have new moms/girls/women see a counselor - thatā€™s there. If they ever need to.

Your doctor will never judge you. Theyā€™re on your side. You need to be completely honest with them so they know what to do to keep your little one and you healthy and comfortable.

LOVE SPELLS THAT WORKS
I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution.
My husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr Osagiede spell caster, can help get lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after 15 hours, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family. You can as well contact Dr Osagiede , a powerful spell-caster for solutions on WHATSAPP.+2349150344106

Just be upfront with ur doctor. Thatā€™s what I did. Of course thatā€™s when smoking weed was considered a criminal offense. I didnā€™t know I was pregnant at the time. I smoked weed & drank alcohol. I freaked when I found out. That was the first thing I ask my doctor, if it was going to hurt the baby. He said no. It was probably to early on. Just donā€™t do it anymore. I didnā€™t. I had a healthy 8. 10oz boy!

If there is no suspected use, they donā€™t. But if there is suspicion, they may test at birth

It depends on the situation but I agree with most of the other responders just be honest. When you didnā€™t know you were pregnant you didnā€™t know now that you do youā€™re responsible for everything you do from this point moving forward.

I was 19 the first time I got pregnant and I was on my own for the first time. I smoked weed, got drunk every weekend and found out I was pregnant at 12 weeks. I was terrified!!! But I stopped everything and 6 months later had a healthy baby boy. I told my dr and I was never drug tested the entire time. If I was no one ever said anything to me and I never saw a DCS worker. Just be honest AND STOP!

I seriously hope this was some type of joke that was meant to be funny, but isnā€™t!
