If you give birth 9 weeks will methanphetimes still show up in the babys placenta if the mother had just quit quit at 31 weeks pregnant?

They test urine/poo: When there is suspicion of drug exposure or a child protective service watch in effect for a given delivery, i test urine & poo, not placentas. The urine will be clear if the meth is long out of mom's system but the poo will reflect exposure for weeks to months prior to birth.
