Question 1

how far back can umbilical cord testing for a newborn baby go back for new born babies exposed to drugs?

Accepted Answer

: They do not test the umbilical cord for drugs. They could find some testing the blood but that is not as accurate as the place usually studied. For that they use meconium (early poops) It is good for detection as early as to the moment when meconium starts to form at about 12 weeks.

Question 2

how long can meconium or cord testing detect marijuana use. if i smoked once in week 17, what are the odds this use will be detected?

Accepted Answer

: Testing for drugs is not routine but may be required if any of the staff suspect prior use. Meconium can retain evidence of exposure from any drug after 12 weeks. Whether or not it would pick up a single brief exposure like this would depend on the sensitivity of the equipment, but likely not. We don't look at cord blood.

what is the set back for umbilical cord testing for drugs? eg in weeks

Accepted Answer

Basics: If I want to test for cocaine exposure in a newborn i do not rely on the transient time it might be in umbilical cord blood. I will find it if I look and the fetus was exposed at any time after the first trimester.If the fetus was exposed they are better off confiding with the delivering doctor who can help them through the issues involved.

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Most people get a headache at some time, such as from colds, infections, lack of sleep, too much driving, long hours on the computer, stress at work, etc... Over-the-counter options include Tylenol (acetaminophen), Motrin or Advil, Aleve, Excedrin and their generic brands. A bad or increasing headache, recurrent headache, weird headache, or with other worrisome symptoms should be checked.

Question 10

what is reality testing?

Accepted Answer

Reality testing: Reality testing is your ability to distinguish what's happening in your own mind, from what's occurring in the outside world.  It's a very important ego function, and can be very impaired in delusional psychotic illness.  To a lesser degree it can also be problematic in non-psychotic people -- such as when your own discomfort makes you think others are critical of, or are disliking you.
