Please tell doctor: Please tell your doctor you're using meth, and get help. You're risking your own health plus the health of your baby. You may wonder whether meth will show in your baby when born, but the real problem is that any maternal meth abuse is associated with premature birth, growth retardation, & long-term learning problems in children. http://www.crystalmethaddiction.org/meth_and_pregnancy.htm.

Consider it found: If I have a reason to look for drugs in a newborns system I can find evidence of exposure dating back as far as the 20th week. There are several ways this can be done, but accept the reality that it can be found and share the information with your docs. It has implications for management of babies reaction to the meds.
