Now I kind of wish I'd been up front about it, but I was way too scared to fess up in my first appointment. I'm so happy to hear they are fairly non-judgemental about it and that they don't involve cps/dfs/whatever. I've stopped smoking now (kind of a bummer), but I'm worried my next test still won't be clean because it can take so long to leave your system. I spent the first night crying and panicking that they'd come take my son or something, until I found this thread. I was VERY surprised to get tested at my first appointment as I didn't think it was routine to test (without my consent - the didn't mention it until after I provided a urine sample). I smoked fairly regularly prior to conception and used MJ to help stop the constant vomiting in my first tri. Changed to a PN clinic for this one since it is closer to where we live now. With my first I went to a birth center in Minneapolis and they didn't test. I'm so happy I found this thread!! MN mom of one, pregnant with baby #2. I've been tested because I'm open about it. Here in Mn a lot of Drs won't even look if you don't speak up. Sorry my story is long, but I hope it calms your fears. Now hopefully this will help too, since I have ptsd and I self medicate, I've told my drs, a SS attorney, a SS judge, and a panel I sat in front of with my attorney and judge all that I self medicate. My fourth baby we were both tested but both passed at his birth. But don't worry, they can't take your baby for thc. If you test positive for THC it makes some drs assume you'll use anything. I was MAD! My nurse immediately patted my arm and told me I had nothing to worry about. My third child I was told at the hospital while being induced, I had to give a pee sample. She was great! I was open to her about my usage because I was under her care when my brother was murdered. Felt MJ should be legalized for recreational. Im not sure if I was tested with my first two. My two middle babies I smoked occasionally to be able to eat. I quit early on with my first and last babies. I frequent a few other boards and have only met a couple others. Wow! I can't believe how many MN moms are here.
