Prenatal Drug Testing: Consent, Concerns & Resources


Question
do doctors secretly test pregnat women for drugs without their knowledge during routine prenatal vistits/care?

Answer
No.  They cannot test without full consent.  However if there is a question or concern, they can refer to social service who technicaly can get a court order.

If you know someone pregnant with a problem, please talk to them.  They could be doing some SERIOUS damage to their child, something that cannot be reversed!
