Okay this is bothering me... so I'm on the other app & I'm on this post about drug testing and it is…

they might

Some states require that pregnant women be tested every visit/every so many visits. The doctors are already taking urine samples to check for protein and other makers for things like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, so it's easy for them to check that as well I'd is required. If it's a law it's open to the public to know so physicians may not mention it assuming mothers already know. If you're concerned, just ask your provider next visit. They have to notify you if you ask because of various federal laws on health care for patient rights.

no actually checking to see if protein is in the urine. . .if it comes back at birth that there are drugs in babies system they will take the baby

I'm not concerned for myself it's just crazy that doctors wouldn't tell their patients I have access to all my results on the computer and they've never tested me that why I think it's just crazy.

they are required by law to tell you what they are testing your urine for. They may stick.it in the paperwork.you fill.out in the beginning but the Dr usually tells.u if they are drug testing you

@wyattsmommy91, that's what I thought. I mean I'm not worried about anything it's just funny that someone would allow that to happen.

I've had doctors test my urine for pregnancy without my consent...

that's crazy... my doctors have been pretty open with me!

It was when I was only 18 and knew I just had a UTI. I just had my period and wasn't pregnant but they tested it anyway and told me I wasn't lol.

lol.. that's crazy.
