Both time my OB/GYN only force a blood test on the baby if mom refused testing while pregnant so that's weird but each hospital and each doctor is different

They never did that at either state I've had my kids (NJ or VA) and my friend in CO they didn't do that either.

its a new federal law that was passed this last year all babies have to be tested as soon as they are born. just a way to make sure babies arent being sent home with crack heads basically to many babies are being born with drugs in their system its sad how inconsiderate mothers are cant give up their addiction so they pass it on to their babies who dont even have a say in whats expossed to them in the womb.

Oh wow.. I'm in PA.. I feel terrible for all the innocent babies being sent home to parents on drugs so I see the purpose..I just was thinking they tested me specifically or something since they didn't do that with my first son haha @abeals04

What state are you in I know Florida drug tests before you push the baby out they went to take my second nephew (didn't matter because he was being adopted) child services actually did a house visit to check on her first son

Oh I definitely agree in taking precautions to help the babies right away..I just worry about everything and was hoping we didn't give them a suspicion or reason to test us specifically.. I didn't even want to take tylenol while pregnant I'm so anti medication and drugs lol

I'm sure it has to do with if its a different Doctor, or hospital.. Or just since times change so much. So many babies are born with drugs in their systems. It's sad.

Ok I was just hoping it was a regular test that they ran..I just don't ever remember them testing my 3 year old cord blood@klove2016

All hospitals are supposed too due to the high number of mothers who have used while being pregnant. Even more so if your on free insurance
