When did you stop smoking and did your baby test positive ?

I’m 24 weeks, quit smoking at 19 but I’ve smoked twice since then - tested clean within 48 hours in my own urine cause it was so little but curious about if my baby will test positive for weed? Also I’m in Toledo Ohio, anyone deal with CPS over marijuana here? Just wanting to know peoples different experiences

I don't know about cps laws in your state, in Colorado they will NOT take a child soley for marijuana. There has to be another factor or proof of neglect. When it comes to testing - no matter when you stop it will be in the umbilical cord. Lets say you smoked once when you were 11 weeks: it will still be present in the cord and placenta at birth even if it's not coming up in your system. No worries hun, they usually don't take any action with marijuana.

Have you given birth in CO? I’m in CO and I’ll be at UChealth. I don’t know what to expect. I took a low dose homemade edible last night and am 26 weeks. I have no record of marijuana use in my medical files. I don’t even want to deal with cps and didn’t know about the meconium test until this morning. Will they even do it if I test negative at birth? Thank you.

What part of tx? I don’t think I’ve ever been drug tested at my OB appts but I’ve stopped due to being scared about dealing with CPS.

I’m also in Toledo. I have been nervous so decided to stop smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant as I was a heavy smoker for the last two years. I am currently 12 weeks 3 days. I stopped smoking around 5/6 weeks. I tested negative at my last appointment which was Thursday and couldn’t be happier. My friend who smoke up until 30 weeks also a heavy smoker tested negative when she had her son in February. I think you will be fine hun! But I would love to get to know one another because we are in the same city! Lol
