FYI: I work for Child Protective Services and have received many many reports regarding substance exposed newborns. I can verify that hospitals do test women and their babies for drugs without the mother's knowledge or consent. If you or your baby tests positive for drugs a report will be called into Child Protective Services and your baby can be removed from you care. CPS differs from state to state, in California if you give birth to a substance exposed newborn, whether it is marijuana or meth your baby will be removed from your care. In Arizona it depends on the situation. So.... I would suggest not smoking during pregnancy so that you do not risk your child being placed with CPS

I am a nurse, I know for a fact that MANY hospitals if not all test newborns after delivery esp. when they suspect...it is completely legal to test a baby WITHOUT the parents consent because they are now a seperate individual after birth. Next step after positive testing is done....CPS gets called and your child CANNOT leave the nursery with you. NOT WORTH THE WEED!!!
