When hospitals suspect drug exposure during pregnancy, when do they test the newborn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At birth: If the mother is suspected of drug use during pregnancy you can test the babies uring and meconium stools for drugs as well as the blood. The meconiumstool gives a more time comprehensive look to see if there was drug use.
