Ftm trying to figure out exactly what are new born babies being tested for? Like drugs genetics.....

They do a blood test on you while your pregnant to see if they'll have any Down syndrome or problems if that's what your asking

Both, they also test for sickness and disease

I did that in the beginning..I mean after the baby is born what are they being tested for

@izzysmommy1003, I did that in the beginning..I mean after the baby is born what are they being tested for

Usually hospitals test newborns and the placenta for any kind of drugs. weed,coke,heroine, crack, meth, etc

I have no idea. My son was born with an infection so they took him into nicu for antibiotics but the dr that delivered me just knew he had something wrong with him when I had him so they took him like 10 minutes after.

Okay thank you @wyatts_mommy_0106

your welcome

I know they also tested my son for group b strep cause I didn't get the antibiotics in time. he got tested for jaundice as well

They don't usually test for marijuana, but some do.

Thank you ladies very helpful @waatts_mommy_0106 @mommyof3preciousbabies
