Marijuana can be found in the blood tests up to 90 days later and hair samples up to 6 months. The more important question is what damage may have been done during those first 14 weeks to the babies rapidly developing body and brain. Studies show that babies whose mothers used drugs during pregnancy are at higher risk of developmental delays and behavioral issues.

If requested by CPS to test for any drug exposure during pregnancy I know where to look. It in not part of every newborns care. I can find evidence of any exposure after the first trimester. If you have used after that point, & they test, expect them to find the evidence. You can't flush it from baby
