Does everyone always get drug tested after giving birth? when did this start? my mother said they never did it with her!

Drug testing: Drug testing as delivery is not a standard practice at delivery. A doctor may order it based on any suspicion of substance abuse. Hospitals may have protocols in place for testing based on certain risk factors or reported past use.
