My friend had it happen, she failed a drug test and they tested baby and cps came in
@Carissa yes I mean at birth
@Amanda was she a chronic smoker?
@Shawnee was she a chronic smoker?
hey girl, I was 3 months along when I found out I was pregnant. I was smoking heavily at the time. I was honest with my doctor because I felt it was the right thing to do and Immediately regretted it. I felt very judged and alone. They tested mine and my sonâs urine in the hospital. They had to put a plastic bag on his penis. I felt very ashamed and guilty. That is my experience, so I recommend you donât tell anyone. And in my case, cps was not involved even when the doctors knew I was high during pregnancy.
For reference Iâm 19 weeks.
@Amanda appreciate the info
This might give me a lot of shit but I smoked a good bit during my pregnancy, helped a lot, during my entire pregnancy, I had hyperemesis gravidarum, which is whenyour sick your entire pregnancy, it was horrible, but anyways, in my opinion, you are your own person and can make your own decisions in life, you as a mother will put your child before anyone and anything, if you needed to decompress you do so, but to the question ik of 1 hospital in Pennsylvania that does test for it, but she also did tell her ob that she did smoke that also might be why, I didnât tell anyone but I made sure to not do it as much an scheduled extra appointments just in case god forbid, but you shouldnât feel any type of way making a decision for yourself especially when you realize and recognize it bothers him, you know you didnât mean to make him upset an thatâs the important part, one little thing shouldnât ruin a wonderful night, super excited for you though â€ïž
She wasn't! She smoked maybe once or twice before birth
They donât test poop unless absolutely necessary. they collect the first urine of the baby if mother tests positive. Sometimes they test baby just because if they suspect. Depending on the state, they could make an issue out of it. Itâs best to just avoid it unless youâre in a legal state AND medically prescribed AND your obgyn is aware but even then they could get CPS involved just for after care follows up for baby when home. Itâs honestly best to avoid it unless absolutely necessary for medical purposes. Unfortunately they suggest SSRIs & other toxic medications are perfect legal & safe while pregnant. Itâs safe for them to continue their doses not bad for baby.đŁIMO thatâ seems worse than cannabis! A natural plant but big pharma runs the world and keeps us hooked at all costs on medicine. As long as you stop now, you should be fine. Do you have a previous history of cannabis use on ur medical chart or something? IMO they really only test mom and baby if suspected
@Victoria so your baby did not get tested? Iâm so nervous. I donât want cps getting involved.
@Shawnee how many weeks was she do you know?
@Aaammggâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž so Iâll get tested!?
Girl you didnât answer the question I canât help if I donât know

@Aaammggâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž oh no I donât
Please do not spiral out None of us are medical professionals or legal experts. We can only speak from experience. Everyone situation is different. Youâre in pa? Youâre in a legal state. If you have no medical card, and no past history of cannabis use then they shouldnât have a reason to test you or baby. If you stop now your baby will have better chance of not having any traces and any other issues. Itâs a 30 day wait till itâs clear out and the first poop would mean you could have smoked at ANY time during pregnancy which is normal if u didnât know u were pregnant it happens. The levels will be lower if you stop now, not to mention save for you both during this time!
@Aaammggâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž thank you, trying not to
i smoked over a g a day until like 33 weeks, had her at 39 exactly. not sure where youre at but armstrong hospital called to notify me that magee would be testing me and would bring cps to my room if it was positive but armstrong doesnt test . all depends on how big or what hospital youre going to. also, one hit is only in your system for up to a week!
I would be going to a upmc magee hospital
@Gabi I would be going to a upmc magee hospital, Iâm only 19 weeks
@Aaammggâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž not sure if it was a typo but Iâm in PA and marijuana is not legal. I do agree if you donât have a medical card* filed or no history you should be okay. But they do routine test your urine throughout pregnancy, not sure if that includes for drugs (atleast they did when I was pregnant) so I would just not do it again.
@Alyson you can get a medical marijuana card for a number of common issues in Pennsylvania.
@Alyson https://www.pa.gov/agencies/health/programs/medical-marijuana.html
@Aaammggâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž yes itâs legal only with a medical card but not for recreational use. Be aware OP thereâs a lot of gray area there with that as well to be mindful of.
i didnt have a med card or history @Alyson & they still routinely tested me! but at 19 weeks you have plenty of time to have it out of your system before birth. i was getting tested every other week at magee, west penn, and armstrong and was fine as long as i was negative at birth..
@Gabi lol I gave birth so long ago but I remember peeing in a cup every single doctors appointment I just never asked what for đđ. I donât have any drug history either
They definitely tested myself and my baby and cys was then at our bedside
@Kaytlyn were you a frequent smoker / when did you last smoke?
Yes I was a frequent smoker. This was in 2019.

They also aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be.
@Alyson yes youâre correct. most definitely the grey areas are still extremely grey :/
@Gabi so I think Iâm going to a Magee hospitalâŠIâll just pray for the best
Magee does test.
@Kaytlyn Do you think it would still get detected if I donât do it anymore? So I stopped at 19 weeks?
LVHN tested my babies pee. She was clean. Iâd stopped smoking while pregnant but took a few hits around Halloween that was at 22- 23ish weeks. You said youâre 19 weeks I think you will be okay. Be careful you donât know baby could come sooner than you expect though!
Even with a medical card they can and will call CPS and honestly should. You should be able to give up pot for 9 months for your own kid.
@Gabi this is relieving Ty!
@LaKayla how was your pregnancy? Were you constantly in the bathroom w/ HG? The only thing that would help me was smoking. I slept on the bathroom floor 95% of my pregnancy because I was so sick until my OB recommended I take a few tokes when my sickness got too bad. I stopped smoking around 30 weeks and I donât have a high metabolism to help get the thc out of my body. Please donât assume peopleâs situations đ«¶đ»
@Justice when did you have your baby?
You have plenty of time
Pooooop?!?!? Excuse me, what? what do you mean at pregnancy? At birth? I mean they could just test you, but if it was one hit, it should be out of your system in a few days. When are you due?
