How Long Does Methamphetamine Stay In The System During Pregnancy?
HI I am 6 almost 7 months pregnant I am such a horrible person because I ve used meth quite frequently until about a week ago. I used to smoke it but started doing about 1 or 2 lines a day once I found out I was pregnant. I have completely quit like I said about a week ago. I am praying I didnt cause any damage to my poor baby and my question is when I give labor in 2 months will they test my baby? What type of rest will they do in AZ ...like test the babies stool urine etc? And Wil my baby come up positive in the type of test they perform in newborns in AZ? I m so scared about whether they will take my child as well as if my baby will be alright. Please help me!!

Hello,
Methamphetamine use in pregnancy may cause growth retardation in the fetus. It is difficult to detect in your baby, urine and blood sample does not detect the presence of meth in the baby.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
