Why the rude comments?! This momma asked a simple question an so many attack her 
in Canada they donât do drugs tests. As some other comments said if your comfortable to do so. Let your doctor know they will help, they can give you support an resources on what needs to be done for your safety an the babies!! Congratulations on the baby momma hopefully you can break what ever habit it is for the both of you! I know itâs difficult but you got this!

It depends what state your in for laws. I straight up told them I smoke weed. Some doctors are fine with it some doctors push their beliefs on you. Now if your talking hard drugs thatâs a different storyâŚ

They do when the child is born
They donât but now that you know please please stop. If you need help get some. Also they will test the placenta after birth if they suspect you are using. The placenta holds everything. Good luck
I tested positive for marijuana at my second appointment from when they took my urine at the first one and they just told me to stop using Iâm not sure what they do if you test positive for anything else Iâm not assuming you just didnât go into detail with what type of drugs obviously if itâs anything hard youâd stop and they took urine at every appointment so they can test it for whatever they want to
Some people just should not be fertile

Yes they do before every appt if you in the past have tested positive for drugs⌠they then report child abuse to authorities and refuse to treat you or your baby⌠If you are still doing drugs knowing your pregnant, unless you can pay cash for your care, youâll need to seek Health Department prenatal care or other open to walk ins facilities⌠That baby deserves better than your currently offering her⌠Get help⌠Stop being so self centered and consider that baby firstâŚ
To those of you trying to scare this girl- take a seat. No wonder there are so many women sho donât get prenatal care AT ALL!! First of all, she never said she was an addict. Christ. Maybe she experimented not knowing she was pregnant and doesnât want to get in trouble. Maybe she didnât do ANYTHING and is worried about testing positive from second hand. Maybe she is an addict who needs HELP and youâre out here judging her before sheâs even had a CHANCE to do the right thing.
Shame on you. So much for women supporting women, holy crap.

Yes they do. But I think it depends on state. I live in pa and they definitely drug test you. You need to be upfront about it. Some doctors are okay with you smoking weed if that is what your worried about. But you have to be honest bc if you lie and they find out thatâs when it becomes and issue.

Smh some of yâall are so rude. Itâs disappointing seeing some of the comments on this postâŚ
Answer: drug testing during pregnancy or after birth is completely dependent on what your state laws are. However any state will test you or baby if they suspect you are on drugs and or endangering the baby.
And for those being rude to someone who you have no idea about, shame on you⌠smh you donât know anything about this person or situation or even what drug she is worried about or why sheâs worried about it⌠there are sooo many factors or different things that could be going onâŚ
And⌠FYI if it is just weed- they use to use marijuana during child birth for pain before pain medication⌠there are studies in countries such as Australia that have shown babies who were born by mothers who used marijuana developed faster, among other benefits⌠Iâve even heard of drs in states that marijuana is legal allow patients to use it for overwhelming nausea and low weight to help women have an appetite and be able to keep food downâŚ
If you canât just answer the question without being judgmental and rude then just keep scrolling for Christâs sake!

Iâve had 4 babies and I was never drug tested⌠theyâve asked if I did any and my answer was obviously no. I could see it if the doctor had suspicions⌠but I have full access to all of my blood work and they just do basic labs and STI checks.
Relax people she may of did drugs before she knew she was pregnant we donât know so letâs try not to judge. Weather they drugs test you or not stop whatever your doing so you donât hurt ur baby. Ask for help if you need it they will work with you

It depends on the office. Normally first visit no bc u didnât know u were pg wks prior. Iâve worked in different offices. Some drs do do it andsome donât, depending on state laws some donât need ur permission bc u are pg. They will definitely do it when ur in labor and if u pop positive they will check the baby. Donât say shit tho to ur dr ab anything. They say we will help u , no they work . The only way they help is having cps there when u deliver. If u ask for help cps will be all up in ur business. If ur doing something hard like heroine and are addicted u need to ask for help, bc u could kill the baby. They will out u on methadone or suboxone. If itâs just weed tho donât say anything.

First off, this heavily depends on which state you live in. Generally, yes, they test at the initial prenatal visit to see what theyâre working with and what resources they may need to help you throughout your pregnancy (whether or not you use). Then, they usually just test for health purposes (glucose, infections, etc). When the baby is born, the baby itself is tested for drugs.
I had my kids in Texas and smoked weed occasionally with the first one. They told me I was going to be monitored to make sure my baby was ok.
Why would you risk a child that didnât ask to be here for drugs. That child has no voice but has a soul. No baby should be put through this. So sad people canât give up that life to have a gift like a child
Yes they will drug test. And then if they find something in it they will drug test everytime you come in the office. Iâm in nc.
Iâm Illinois were weed is legal Iâm honest with my doctor. Only use it when I canât control sickness or for pain. I have dislocating hips and now that little laci is growing more and more itâs been more of a problem. She is excelling in growth and is very healthy. As for other drugs I donât recommend trying them but I do recommend being honest if you didnât know you were pregnant you didnât knknow. That doesnât make you a bad parent.
In Ohio yes theyâll drug test when you pee in the cup. If any drug is positive cps is automatically involved and if you test positive at your last appt good luck keeping your baby
They will drug test you. If you continue to be positive throughout or test positive at birth they will call CPS. But the first time they will ask and see if you need help.
I believe they will and also upon giving birth. If the child is born positive to toxins your baby can be taken from you and become a ward of the state.
Not sure. I didnât do any while pregnant. I hope whoever she is, you get a strong support system and get the help she needs.
Every state is different. I didnât get drug tested with any of my kids but know that they usually test the babies first poop when theyâre born if they have suspicions of the mother doing drugs during the pregnancy. This is in Alaska. No judgements here, I hope everything works out for you and your little bundle of joy 
congratulations!!!
Why would u ask a question like that.?? Good luck cause if they find out u have drugs in your system cps will get involved will not look good on u
If you need to ask this get help now!

are you o.k.? They do sometimes draw blood during pregnancies , like for diabetes gestation to check on your blood sugars. Also after delivery they do take tests for RA factor and also for drug tests too. So if you need to find some one to guide you through this be honest to you OBGYN and they will know how to guide you with very valuable help for your future and the future of your child ! 
Much love to you and sending prayers for your future health and your childs well being ! You are worthy and loved!
In MI if you test positive cps is contacted but doesnât mean automatic removal. Marijuana is legal in Michigan so they may ask people to refrain from smoking while pregnant but some drs. Here allow it for people who have severe nausea etc. Congrats on the baby!! May all work out well. God Bless

They do a blood test, which probably includes drug test⌠just be honest with dr, and they can help find you something to get clean if you need to. If you smoked a pot joint last week, they wonât do anything, but if they baby is born with pot, youâre gonna have a problem with the authorities

Honey get yourself some help. A lot of these answers are quite ignorant and Iâm sorry for that - they will test your pee but no, your baby wonât be ripped from your arms, unless you fail to improve and donât do your best to take their advice and accept their help before baby comes. The sooner the better but you will no doubt need support and professional advise so start with a doctors appointment xx

I understand you may be concerned for yourself and the safety of your child. Without bias yes they do drug test you. If you are emotionally ready and physically ready to stop be honest and they will help you get the support you need to become drug free. If you are questioning if you are ready be honest so that you can get emotional support and guidance to review your options. I will pray for you to have strength through your decisions, only you know what is best for yourself and your situation.
Yes, they test in Indiana.

Iâm pretty sure it depends on the state u live in that determines whether they automatically drug test. The state I live in does not drug test unless they suspect some kind of drug abuse. Some of the replies I have read people are clearly judging. Even though I donât smoke marijuana maybe she smokes and it isnât legal yet in her state and I wouldnât think that is the end of the world being pregnant but that is my opinion!
In North Carolina they have a zero tolerance, they test at every appointment and at birth, they will even test the baby if needed⌠then of course cps is contacted and depending on the drug, your child may very well be takenâŚ

Some drs do some donât. Maybe you should take this pregnancy as a sign to quit doing drugs. If your baby tests positive when he or she is born cps will remove him or her from your care.
If itâs weed most likely nothing will happen. A lot of pregnant women smoke weed during pregnancy to help with Nausea. If thatâs the case and your smoking pot just let your doctor know that you smoke and the reasoning for smoking. I live in Ohio and smoked my whole second pregnancy and my doctor was fine with it. Although most doctors and hospitals do have to report to children services then they will come into your room at the hospital and ask a few questions. Answer honestly and most likely everything will be fine. I explained the only way I could keep anything down was to smoke a little bit. Just a few hits a day. My baby actually came out clean but they still need to report it. I never even had a case opened. Once they came in and talked to me children services were fine with everything and went on their way.
Although if itâs more then smoking pot there could be great birth defects or even your baby born addicted and in that case Iâd get help because they most likely Will take Your baby over hard drugs. Good luck and I hope you have a healthy pregnancy 
In oregon they do drug test bt in oregon marijuana is legal so they dnt report u to cps unless u r breastfeeding dnt let any dr try to convince u otherwise they did tht to me n they still reported me even tho we switched to formula when he was a like 4 days old n as long as u cn prove to them ur using formula n ur baby dnt test positive for marijuana at 1 month old they wnt do nothing

This hurts my heart for that baby. Why, just why would anyone risk the health and welfare of a precious child over some drug? I did everything possible for my baby and she was born with CP due to a breech birth. All doctors should test for drugs at each visit and at birth. No baby needs to start off life hooked to drugs.
Pregnant women cannot be tested for drugs without consent - PMC.

They do. In the beginning of pregnancy they might not say anything to give it time to get âout of your systemâ but further into your pregnancy they will⌠But be careful, I think it changed but in certain states they used to take kids from mothers at birth if they had drugs in there system through out the whole pregnancy.
Yâall hating on her question, but for real if she wanna smoke weed thatâs her choice. She could be months into her pregnancy showing no signs or symptoms and be a regular smoker then quit when she found out she was pregnant and just had that question to ask. Know the story before u judge Iâve seen it happen plenty of times with how common weed is among all communities these days.

Yes but they will give u sometime to stop about 5 months after that your screwed
Well I would hope if your using drugs and your pregnant that you would have enough love and compassion for your unborn child that you would quit, and let the dr. Office know before testing so they can get you support and help. So when your baby is born it will have better chance of being a healthy baby and have a healthy mother.
So⌠she was just supposed to know she was pregnant? Yâall know weed is a âdrugâ too right and thatâs probably what sheâs referring to? âHer baby needs to be takenâ yâall are really dumb

Just saying, if you have Hyperemesis Gravidarum marijuana does help when you are starving, dehydrated and doctors brush it off as âregular morning sicknessâ even when it hurts to even stand from how weak you are. Some doctors are against it and some actually encourage it depending on your state and how severe it is.

I think it depends on the state youâre in. Iâm in Florida they only drug tested me at the beginning (my first appointment) then again at 28 weeks and again at birth. I smoked weed before I found out I was pregnant I guess thatâs why they tested me again at 28 weeks and birth
Yes they will test you and yes if you dont stop they will take your baby once it born cause they will test the infant for drugs also my best advice is if you can STOP using tell your dr that you will test positive but have stopped using but they will test you at all your appointments its routine at least here in my state.
Not all appointments. Typically they do in the beginning. They also do it when the baby is born. Anytime you pee in a cup for anyone I would expect it to include a drug screen.
Honestly it depends on the doctor you are seeing. Mine didnt but I know people whoâs doctor did.
At my docs they do every single time.
Maybe donât do drugs and we wouldnât have to worryđ¤¨

Itâs funny how a lot of people are like " oh you shouldnât do drugs". Sheâs most likely referring to Marijuana. And most of yall probably smoke it outside of pregnancy.
Yes they test and they will continue to throughout your pregnancy. As well as once the babyâs born theyâll test the baby to see if itâs in their system. If so and Iâm assuming itâs weed. Be careful I know a lot of people who use it to help with appetite. However you can get into trouble for having drugs in your system while pregnant.

Yes you do if not the first time then eventually and they definately test the baby when its born. Why would you ask such a question to the public? Do you know how bad that looks considering your carrying a child? Why are you so worried about a drug test? Maybe you should have a talk with yourself instead of a bunch of people you donât know when it comes to your unborn child and drugs. These people can only give you answers to if your going to be tested or not its up to you to stop doing drugs while your preg. Your more worried about a drug test than quitting drugs while pregnant. I have no sympathy for you. You should be asking your doctor how to get off drugs while pregnant not asking people if they drug test u while your preg. Get off the drugs no matter what it is and think about your baby.
