Do Doctors Do Random..?

Question by It’sMe: do doctors do random..?
drug tests during pregnancy because i just had a baby and during all my visits she never did one to me and do they really check your baby after he/she is born to see if there are drugs in their system?? Just wondering somebody told me that and i dont believe my doc did this…

drug test on a newborn/during pregnancy? i highly doubt that a drug test on a newborn is necessary. on the mother, never heard of that, unless they suspect that you are doing drugs and your baby may be at risk.

Actually, yes they do. What they do is extract some of the fluid from the umbilicle cord and test the blood in there. then remember when they asked you to save the poopy diapers in the hospital? Well, they can also test that to see what part of pregnancy it was, to establish whether or not you knew you were pregnant while you were using drugs.
