Sure: So long as you don't have her tonight! It will be out of your system! These are fairly short acting drugs and are out of your circulation within a day or so.

Depends: If this was prescribed medicinal use, there should not be a problem. The medication is well tolerated by the fetus. If this was recreational use, traces will likely persist within the babies meconium and would be evident if they were looking for evidence of illicit drug use during pregnancy.
