So, she is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.
I am for whatever you choose to do Keri. You know your body better than anyone on this forum.

Depending when she gives birth it could still show up even though she has stopped .If she has not told her doctor yes dss WILL BE CALLED
She has a current post you guys might want to read now.
But what if she continues to use, the blood test will show the drug in the baby's system. What happens then?
i feel like i'm treading on thin ice here as this is a very delicate subject, but since i used t be a hospital nursery social worker, i felt the need to put my two cents worth in:
if keriberi delivers early so soon after being clean, and the baby is in distress from withdrawal, the doctor will order a UA among other tests to rule-out exactly what is happening (withdrawal). the symptoms of withdrawal in infants are pretty easy to spot. if the doc suspects, orders the UA and it comes back positive, the hospital staff will be legally bound to make a referral to child protective services. so lets all pray she does not go into early labor.
this is not me being judgmental. it's just what happens in hospital nurseries. i am very happy she is getting clean and i hope mom and baby will have a long, healthy, drug-free life ahead of them :)
