Drug test/Pregnancy: Most of us test your urine and I tell patients that it is done during the course of prenatal visits, but obviously I vary the days so as to get an accurate result.

Don't risk baby...: When you're pregnant, prenatal tests give you information about your health and your baby's. They help detect any problems that could affect him, like birth defects or genetic diseases. The results can help you make the best health care decisions before and after your child is born. Ask your doctor what tests are being ordered, but avoid illicit substances, alcohol, etc. pls, esp. if pregnant.
