If you have to ask, may as well sign the adoption paperwork

If you’re using drugs, you shouldn’t be a mother. If you’re worried about drug testing during pregnancy, you won’t be able to take care of a child. Get clean before that.

Why is this a question?

Not usually but they do when the baby is born. Piss dirty and you’ll probably lose your kid. I dunno what drugs you do but if you keep the baby, get help and get/stay sober. Not easy but worth it

They should.
Drug addicts rarely make good parents.
If you are doing drugs it’s not too late to seek help and clean up before baby comes.

If they suspect you abuse drugs or you do a blood test or urine test yes they do

well i hope they so for the baby sake .

they do. if you stop doing drugs VERIFYABLY they’ll stop

EVERY TIME I went to a first appointment when pregnant, they have drug tested. They do it so they know more about your health whether you know it or not.

Yes they do so they know how to care for you during your pregnancy but you should be honest so they can properly treat you and your baby

I used to work at a clinic where we treated addicts that did everything. We 100% test but we also offer help so you can stay clean and have a healthy baby. I have a friend who is an addict of a few different drugs, coke in particular, and she delivered a healthy baby boy because she got help. Do your best, be honest and ignore all the negative comments. Best wishes to you and your baby

Idiots judgmental people f off with your nonsense it could have fkn been weed for all you know . Like none of you smoked while pregnant that are judgmental. Any way depends I think it also depends on the drug if they’d say anything but if you let them know you where doing stuff before you got pregnant and stopped it it should be ok…

Well guess we already know she’s gonna test positive if she’s asking that kinda question

Last I heard they did. Ig you do drugs be open and honest with your dr about it. And let them know you want to quit. (Even if you dont) That way they can help you safely, for you and the baby.

I hope all you dang judgemental people never took a thing while pregnant not even tylenol or smoked a cigarette while pregnant or when you didn’t know to be pregnant. No one fkn knows what drug it could have been weed or damn maybe she was on some pills.for mental health or pain those are considers drugs to.

If you’re a druggie you don’t deserve to have a baby but that’s my opinion.

Yes they test you. Its best to be up front with them about any drug use

It has been my experience that they do not unless there is suspected abuse. Please now that you know make a decision to do no more and stick to it. Best of luck.

Yes they test. Even for marijuana. I know someone who was founded for neglect and children removed because she tested positive for pot at birth. It’s best just to quit

What are you using and where do you live?

It would probably depend on your circumstances, I have 7 children and have never been drug tested. Even so I think they would only drug test if they suspect you to be taking something that could potentially put your child at risk

Yes they test. Yes they give you help. No they don’t always take you child from you. You do want to be honest with the doctor so you can have a healthy baby.

They do when your child is born and if the levels are high they can take your children away

Yeah anytime they take your blood or you piss in a cup you getting tested

I’m in Canada and no they don’t however I would think if your Dr suspected you of drug use then they may. Weed here is legal however so again I’m sure if your Dr thought you use that and or alcohol they would give assistance to you. . They do regular routine bloodwork for certain levels of vitamins and beta numbers.

Yes they do just tell them you were doing the edible wave before you found out you were pregnant. But you have to stop smoking they will kick you out of your ob office it happened to me just a forewarning. I’m in Georgia.

I know s person who did drugs when pregnant her baby was born deaf

They test everytime you give urine.

Only at certain hospitals. Do your research ahead of time.

Just be honest with your doctor. They can help you get/say clean. They will test the baby when it’s born but depending on far along you are, if you stop now you should be fine if you stopped using what ever it is. Also, if it’s pot then you should look into getting your medical card if it is medical.

Only if they think you’re a junkie or something i never once was drug tested while pregnant

I work for a dr. No we don’t drug test.

Never in my life have I been drug tested durn my pregnancies

They do at the hospital when baby is born. They will test the baby’s first poop and they also drug test when you give the last urine sample before having the baby.

Yes every dr appt they test with urine and in ur blood work it’s best to be truthful from the start unless it’s hard drugs that u continue to do throughout ur pregnancy then cas might be involed but with weed there not caring as much I smoked my entire pregnancy and I was fine not even cas showed up and I have history with drug abuse and history with cas so I was shocked but it depands on the drug pressay and also how much support you have durning your pregnancy

Totally disgusting question! Sad…:woman_facepalming:t3:

It depends where you live and 9n the doctor your seeing how they handle drugs tests

No they don’t drug test at pregnancy appointments! Congratulations!

In the state I live they drug test at the beginning and at the time the baby is born. Pot is legal in my state and I had thc in my system when I found out I was pregnant. I just stopped smoking while I was pregnant and as long as it was out of my system when I gave birth…no problem. However if you do have drugs in your system at time of birth, they can take your baby away.

Yes and they wont always tell you the results. They’ll notify Social Services and when the baby is born if it tests positive. They will have Child protective services come in. Possibly take the baby depending on what it was. My daughter in laws sister lost her son that way.

Yes always in my state

Some places they do. They take urine samples at most appointments, atleast where I live, checking levels of a few things and they never said if they were testing for drugs with that aswell but personally I hope they do for the sake of the baby. It’s one thing to do what u want before u find out your a mom. But if your still doing that after you find out then measures should be taken by health care professionals and maybe even get child services involved. It’s good for the system to know if they are gunna be sending a baby home with a junkie. Where I live there is a bit of a meth problem and so many kids are born into that life.

Maybe she does weed for anxiety and didn’t expect to get pregnant! Or maybe something worse than weed and we shouldn’t judge! Or hey maybe she doesn’t do anything at all and was just curious! This group is suppose to be about not judging! Either way to answer her question politely like some on here did… it all depends on your doctor. Congratulations on your little one girl and ignore the hate.

Yes everytime your there they’ll make u pee

Yes they drug tested me

Depends where you live and also your doctor. But if you have to ask, should you be considering keeping it ? When you do drugs, your baby does too and baby will (if it survives) be born with a lot of heath issues and addicted to whatever drug you are using.

If you are an occasional user, talk to your doctor about it to make sure the baby is safe. And also don’t do any more drugs of you plan on keeping the baby. A one time use before you find out you are pregnant (depending how far you are) the baby may be okay as long as you discontinue any use

i had 4 kids and wasnt testec at all but usually once babied are born they test the baby

They collect urine at every appointment (at least my doctors office does) I don’t think its necessarily a “drug test” more to monitor levels for other health problems that can sometimes arise. They absolutely do test after birth urine and stool for baby.

Yes, because of America’s addiction issues. Be honest at your first appointment and STOP USING NOW

If your biggest concern is that they’re going to drug test you at prenatal appointments…, YOU ARE NOT MATURE OR RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO BE HAVING A CHILD.

Yeap in the state of Florida .If your baby is born on drug’s .Your child is taken. Not judging but get help for your baby. :heart::heart::heart:it may be A sign for God to save your self.

If you’re smoking marijuana just tell your Dr. Probably safer than cigarettes

So you on drugs? What you think going to happen to your baby :flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed:

Umm yes they do and they will take your baby away if you come up dirty too many times so I advise you to stop whatever you are doing not because they test you but because you’re messing up the new life growing inside you. If you can’t do it for yourself do it for the baby.
