A member asked:
I just found out that i'm pregnant and i'm already at 8 months. since i found out i'm pregnant i have stopped using meth but prior to knowing this i was smoking it. will it show up in my baby at the time of birth if they drug test my newborn?

Testing for drug exposure is not an automatic part of the evaluation at delivery. That said, if I have reason to suspect it, state law may require testing. If I look, I can find evidence of drug exposure in a newborn as far back as the 12th week of pregnancy.
