Drug testing at birth

[Sisdukes]

I am 37 weeks pregnant and getting close to my due date.  I have use marijuana durring some of my pregnancy.  Do all hospitals do drug test on new born babies?

Get over it...EVERYONE is entitled to voice an opinion on a public forum, not just you.

If you post a comment in a public forum admitting to doing something which could endanger the health of your unborn baby, you might as well expect "personal comments".  Deal with it.

Then you shouldn't have asked. Just go on and try to justify your actions to yourself to make yourself feel better. I hope your baby is okay.

Sorry... when you start asking a group of  a.) mothers  or   b.) people who want children and cannot conceive, then you do/say something stupid to INTENTIONALLY jeopardize the health and wellbeing of a baby - expect it :)
Not trying to start trouble, but that's life - I won't say another word - my lips are sealed :)  Good luck!

[Sisdukes]

I did not ask for anyones personal comments on the matter. Thank you

[jen2006]

Normally I don't say a word when people do stupid things to themselves, but shame on you - you better pray to god that your baby doesn't have problems because of your lack of consideration.  Thank you.

I'm wondering why this is the only concern you have....no concern over the potential harm to your baby????

[Stefanie714]

I can't believe you would do that! You have a responsibility as a mother to take care of your baby, born or not. I wish hospitals did drug test, then maybe you would stop. You know there are women out there who would give anything to have a baby, then there are people like you..........

Why knowingly use marijuana when you are pregnant?  

[peekawho]

No.  If you have certain indicators of drug use, they might.  But as a general rule, no.  

You must not use marijuana if you are are responsible for an infant.   Ever.
