I just found I'm pregnant and want to know do they drug test at pregnancy appointments?

I did not. I was smoking weed til I found out at 9 weeks I was pregnant. I quit. I would stop while your ahead. That baby is worth more than any drug. Good luck

Please stop for your baby’s sake. I believe they test when they draw your blood.

Depends on state n are you on medicaid

If you are doing hard drugs just stop or don’t continue with the pregnancy. That being said, they may still check if you are smoking pot tho just talk to your doc

Canada dosent do this :thinking:Unless you’re clearly a drug Addict at the time of birth

Depends on the state. If you are in michigan they don’t care about cannabis/ marijuana/weed

Yes they drug test at the appts. Please do your best to stop

Yeah wtf is wrong with ppl

I live in Missouri and they absolutely did urine drug test me for EVERY DRUG at my 8 week intake appt.

No they don’t but they do after labor

I’ve never been tested for drugs at my appointments

They will run a prenatal panel. Not drug testing.

They’ll drug the baby when it’s born too

Yes they do. I wouldn’t worry about it if you just found out. Just stop using whatever it is you’re using. I’ve been drug tested in every pregnancy lol twice each time

Even if it’s “just weed” that’s not exactly harmless for the baby, guys.

lol dont scare the poor girl … I know alot of women who smoked weed during pregnancy and on Medicaid and government assistance and they never drug tested them or they just never reported her or them .

The first one yes. If you test positive then they will continue to test each visit and then report it to the state

Well yes they do at some point in the pregnancy. They will test after birth too

Depends on the state. Ny is no

Clean yourself up yo! Babies are a gift to be cherished…you know what to do.

I’m going to play devils advocate. She very plainly stated she JUST found out she is pregnant. You don’t know if she will still actively use or if she is going to try and stop. If you go into your OB appt and are up front and honest and ask for help in quitting using they will help you.

Yes, and when baby is born

Not in New Mexico they don’t. You can also test positive for weed and they won’t take your child. Anything else yes.

If this a legit question and is really happening to someone in real life, I will say this, get clean, stay sober, just because u made the choice of doing drugs, does not mean that your baby made that same choice, because he or she does not have that right yet. Also, if u feel like u don’t want to keep the baby, that u don’t think u can provide for the child, then please feel free to contact me, my husband and I would love to have a child to love and to take care of.

Yes they do… But if it’s your first visit they will let you know they found something and expect not to find it again. Just stop doing what you’re doing and you’ll be fine. :heart: :heart: Don’t stress or let these people scare you.

They do in Ohio but i know for fact they dont take baby from ya for weed. Cps will be notifide but they will just do 1 visit and close case.

Yes they do. And if you pop positive for ANYTHING (including THC) THEY WILL FLAG YOU.
Then they will test your baby when it’s born, if there is anything in his system, they will make your life a living hell.

Omg!!! If you have to ask… a human is forming inside you… any and all drugs can interfere with that development.

My dr tested at the beginning of my pregnancy at the end and then at birth never a issue with me cause I didn’t so drugs🤷‍♀️

At least thats how it has been with my niece during all 3 of her pregnancys

Why is this the 3rd time seeing this question?

No but Stop now. They may test when baby is born

Ladies, she JUST found out. For all you know she’s asking because she feels bad, and doesn’t want to be judged as she didn’t know she was pregnant. Like chill out you bunch of Karen’s!

At my obgyn the first appointment they do test you. An I think one random while pregnant then one before you have the baby.

And another page asking the same question…3 different groups asking same question folks…these groups are fake

It depends on location. Some places it’s mandatory in the panels and it’s not. In Texas I had my son 2019 and was not tested for anything(viewing your chart and itemized bill will help and they are legally required to tell you if you ask).

I don’t believe that they do until after birth but if u just found out ur pregnant and u plan to keep the baby or put it up for adoption, maybe this will help u get clean u didn’t specify what drug u use but they can probably help u with getting clean

Yes at your 1st appt and when you deliver…if you test positive at the 1st appt they will randomly test you

No they don’t just test because it costs money. They do not test unless they have reason or suspicion, I’m positive of that. But remember sometimes they suspect things and it’s not true. Sometimes they suspect things and it is true. Sometimes they’re tipped off, it just depends. Hoping it’s nothing serious.

Yes…but as long as your levels drop u will be ok

Depends on the state. Also it matter when you give birth. If you just found out no big deal don’t worry about the judgement folks are throwing at you. If you were 6 months and knew all along ok maybe I could see a little judgement but noone knows your situation honey. Just be honest with your ob and try to get clean. Depending on what it is, i.e. methadone for example the drs won’t let you come off the drugs. So take into account your individual situation. Good luck to you and FUCK these judgemental ass folks☺️

They could have done the drugs before they knew they were pregnant.

Life is some shit like that, but yes. They drug tested me with both children. They follow up on drug tests and if the child is found to have it after birth will be a CPS case.

They draw blood and take urine for your first appointment

I can’t remember when I first found out if they did, but they definitely do when the baby is born. But however id let them know so you can make sure development isn’t affected.

:joy: They absolutely do.

:rofl::rofl: girl don’t listen to some of these women!! They didn’t test at any doctors appointments and if they did they never mentioned anything :woman_shrugging::woman_shrugging: however they did test myself and my baby in the hospital when she was born so keep that in mind.

Also I only smoked weed so idk what you’re referencing but that’s what happened to me

No they do not check for drugs. I’ve had three kids and during my last pregnancy I had smoked some weed because I was having a nervous breakdown. Not once did my OBGYN mention anything. They have to have a legitimate reason for them to check

If its just weed like its just looked at like water these days tbh. If its hard shit, I’ll be praying for you.

Yes they do test. Do they tell u no they don’t. My friend smoked weed and her dr said to stop because they will take their baby way. If it’s not legal in your state u can get your child taken

They do but only for hard drugs. Basically any drugs other then weed but once you have the baby they test for everything

I live in Texas. I had to give a urine sample every time I went and saw my ob. They said they test it for drugs along with other things as well.

If your already pregnant, why do you need pregnancy appts?
