I'm currently 36 weeks and was wondering if anyone has given birth in Texas recently? My sister who is in med school said they are drug testing all mothers at the hospital. As far as I know, I haven't been tested by my OB and told them I don't smoke or use any drugs so they shouldn't have any suspicions. I am incredibly worried my baby will be taken away from me or CPS will get involved. I quit smoking last week and am hoping I can clean out my system in 1 month(hoping my LO doesn't come early) by just drinking lots of water everyday. Anybody have any experience with this? I'm giving birth at the Cedar Park Regional Medical Center soon so I'd greatly appreciate any feedback anyone my have for me.

Okay, so I am actually posting this for my best friend. 
but she just found she’s pregnant, currently 4 weeks and a few days. She used cocaine up until she found out.

Do they do universal drug screenings in early pregnancy? She wants to make her first doctors appointment but is scared she will fail. she stopped and isn’t going to use again. But she said she read something that they only test babies and mothers at the end of pregnancy. is this true? Or will they test at her first appointments as well?
