I quit smoking weed when I found out I was pregnant, but I know drug tests are mandatory here and a failure is required to be reported to CPS, who show up at the hospital when the baby is born and revoke custody pending 3 months rehab. I haven't touched weed since the day I found out, but my doctor takes a urine sample every time, and I'm worried about the first and possibly second visits to him where I submitted urine. I think they do the drug test later in the pregnancy and the last tests were just UA's but I would like to be sure.

Answer 1 :
I am not sure how Texas works...never heard of it and lived in Texas myself. In all honesty you should never be consuming drugs whether you are pregnant or not.
Answer 2 :
more then likely the whole pregnancy!!! And as long as when you do it you are clean and you really are staying clean you should be fine but F.Y.I it stays in the inbebotic fluid so when the baby is born it will test positive. They can also by when they test how long it has been So make sure to stay clean maybe even better is confess to your doc now do rehab so that by the time the baby is born all will be OK for sure!!! But that is just my advise and opinion!!!
Answer 3 :
I am not from Texas but when i first got pregnant they tested me the first or second visit but I had to get consent from me by signing a paper asking permission to test for many different drugs listed on the paper. Our state is the same is yours if you fail the test CPS would be involved. I am sure if you failed the test they would have contacted you about the test and informed you you failed. They take your urine every visit testing your protein and sugar. GL to ya and Congratz on the baby!!
Answer 4 :
I live in North Carolina, and don't know the Texas laws, but as a mother;I would suggest being upfront with your doctor from the beginning. Just tell him/her that you were smoking weed and that you stopped soon as you found out you were pregnant. A little honesty goes a long ways! If I am not mistaken, they can test you and seems like there is a way for them to tell when the last time you were smoking weed or had taken any other drug. They will probably ask you at first ( I think this is done to see if you are going to be upfront and honest with them at first) But they will administer the test, and hopefully by you being upfront, they will not call cps, but rather choose to give random drug test thorugh your pregancy. If you mange to stay clean, good for you, and that may mean that cps will never be called. It all depends on the doctor. Good luck!
Answer 5 :
why do you want to harm the baby? you shouldnt do anything that could be harmful. it is very hard to have a healthy baby w/o taking any risks. think of someone else for once, not yourself. are you gonna get loaded after the bay is born & not be able to take care of it? cps will still come & take the baby at any time. grow up
Answer 6 :
As far as I've known, UA's are taken randomly by CPS. Drugs and alcohol should not be consumed while you are pregnant. Take consideration, not only for your child, but for yourself as well.
