Basics: If I want to test for cocaine exposure in a newborn i do not rely on the transient time it might be in umbilical cord blood. I will find it if I look and the fetus was exposed at any time after the first trimester.If the fetus was exposed they are better off confiding with the delivering doctor who can help them through the issues involved.

Meconium: If a doctor wants to test for intrauterine exposure to a drug, testing the meconium is the best strategy.
