I did speak to my doctor about it and theres no evidence of problems to the fetus

We're did you get that information? It's not safe at all

In many clinics women are tested when they start going to that clinic. They do tell you before hand, and I'm sure they have papers that you consented to the tests. Some clinics have these guild lines even before seeing new patients.

Yes, my dr that delivered my first baby told me she started doing drug testing w/o consent when she had a patient give birth to a baby addicted to cocaine. Baby also had defects from exposure. Dr never knew that mom was a drug user. Sad. I didn't care that they had drug tested me, I just wish they had told me.

Yes i am being completely honest...I mean i do come in contact with 2nd hand smoke very often...also my blood results said the levels of THC was 5ng/ml which seems very low considering that a urine test is negative unless its above 50ng/ml

****my blood work showed 5ng/ml which is considered negative on a urine test but she said that its positive

I've never heard of drug testing being a part of routine prenatal testing anywhere in the United States. Even if they suspect you, they can't do it without informing you. I drug tested people every day, for years at my last job, and I know this for a fact.There are legal protocols they have to follow during the testing procedure in order for the results to be considered legally valid, that would make it impossible for them to test you without your knowledge. Second hand smoke will not make you test positive and even the most habitual smoker will have a clear test in 30 days. If they really did test you without informing you, then you need to look into that for the sake of your legal rights, but if there is more to this story that we aren't hearing, I would advise you to start reevaluating your life style for the sake of retaining custody of your baby.

That's true different labs have different limits that would have been neg in my lab and eag different countries different rules I'm going with the law in the country I live in

I had a false positive at my first prenatal appt with my first child for Benzoids. It was confirmed by a second lab that it had been a false positive. That false report followed me to delivery where they sent social services in. I would imagine you & the baby will be monitored very close. From my understanding, secondhand smoke doesn't cause positive drug tests & THC is normally out of the system within 30 days. However, if you are inhaling that much secondhand smoke (of any kind), you may want to change your company. Remember, everything you take in goes straight to your child.

They will drug test the baby when its born in the hospital too and every baby you have after this.
