The tests that are performed on the newborn include the "poop" the doctors would know right away if the baby had anything in their system

Because you admitted to drug use during your pregnancy, there is a good chance that they will test baby for drugs as well as the regular tests that they do. Usually they take blood from baby's heel. Since they will know what meds they give you during labor, they will be able to tell the difference between those and any street drugs you might be using. If baby is positive, what happens depends on where you live. Some places might determine it best to take baby, others will have you go into some kind of rehab program (possibly just something like NA), take parenting classes and submit to random drug tests. Even if baby is removed from your custody, you'll still have a chance to get him or her back through cooperating with social services....I do hope that you are staying clean, for your sake and baby's....drugs can really mess a child up for life.

blood is most accurate of tests. if theres nothing in the blood the only onter test would be with a hair folicicle. poop wont show drugs. its just a waste product

i don't think so. I know if there is any amniotic fluid left over from the womb then they can test that good luck
