Social worker after birth for drugs?
Okay so way before I had my baby I smoked pot occasionally. When I finally became pregnant I went to the OB/GYN and they asked about previous things like using marijuana, nicotine, alcohol, street drugs, etc. I answered I have done marijuana once but I do not anymore (many people have tried it don't give me crap) Anywho since I was honest with my doctor (I thought your doctor is the one person you should be honest with) I was drug screened during my pregnancy. I passed with flying colors of course. Then I had my LO who was ALSO drug tested through his poop and pee and passed it with flying colors. Now they are saying a social worker has to talk to me because I have had previous use. I'm very irritated and annoyed. Many people habe done it once and I don't want social workers pestering me making me feel like a bad mother. What will this social worker talk to me about or make us do? My LO hates the pouch they put on his pee pee to gather the urine and it broke my heart seeing this done. And I know if I reject a drug test they will go ahead and assume I do drugs when really I just hate the government butting in and assuming I'm a druggie when really I was just a stupid bored teenager. I feel very offended by this. Anyone else deal with this? BTW I live in SC.
Not to offend you but you have a serious attitude problem. Get a grip. and get that stick out of your butt. Plenty of people have tried pot. I don't act like a child. I hate it it makes me sick nervous and tachycardic therefore I am NOT a smoker. I'm a grown married stay at home mom. Excuse me for being honest with my doctor. I don't drink or smoke anything! Heck I don't even like taking tylenol! So before you judge someone on a stupid decision I made when I was younger you should step back and look at what a mean person you are for trying to insult me. People like that are really something.....
Thank you Deanna! Actually I remember a social worker asking me questions at the hospital! Maybe that's what they meant. She didn't give me aa card she just told me he was being tested an passed. She asked about. if the baby had a good home ETC . I never tested positive because I wasn't smoking. But I was terrified I'd have some CPS case and someone dropping in on my home.
How moronic! You can't lose your child to drugs if you don't do them. Are you really that confused? I am not worried about losing my child. I'm worried about someone just popping in when my house is a mess and having to waste my husband's money to drive back and forth to town. BTW awesome for not trying drugs! Too bad you're so mean, rude, and judgmental. Spoken like a true immature witch. If insulting others on YA helps you sleep at night then awesome!

Yes, i have. I tested positive during pregnancy, because i didnt know i was pregnant yet and i was smoking marijuana regularly so it took awhile to get out of my system. The dr told me that i had to give him at least 2 negative tests before birth and they would test my baby when she was born, he never mentioned to me about a social worker...well i gave the two negative tests and my baby was born and also tested negative....at the hospital not even 4 hours after my child was born the social worker came to ask me questions....here is what i remember (i was on morphine due to a csection, ha! ironic huh) anyways.... they asked if i had a drug problem? i answered no. they asked if i needed any help getting off drugs? (kind mind blown since i hadnt smoked in months and i tested neg) I of course said no. She read my papers to me stating that my baby and i were both negative for all drugs. and she left me a business card with her name and number and told me to call if i ever got into drugs and needed help. I signed a paper saying the case was visited and now over with. and that was it. i think its protocol to have a social worker talk to you, but its not like a CPS case and they should NOT test you or your baby again since you tested neg at birth. Good luck, and dont feel bad.
HAHA at your additional comments. You tell her!! some people are so rude!! You wont get your kids taken away for that!
Mine was over and done with that visit at the hospital. Ive never heard from the since, and my kids are state assistance and such. No home checks or anything like that, not even a follow up call. I dont think youll have anything to worry about, if you had an open CPS case, you would have already been assigned parenting classes and drug classes. a friend of mine failed at birth and they automatically set up classes for her, and had her in on going meetings, they also cant just pop up at your house without letting you know that they will be conducting random inspections. so if they didnt tell you you have an open case, its most likely over with. enjoy your life, husband, and new baby! :)

You can be "offended" all you want, but YOU used drugs. You did it. No one held a gun to your head. Get a grip. Act like an ADULT. You can lose the child. And, any other child.
Spoken like a true pot head. NO I NEVER tried ANY kind of drug-- even pot. You can go around acting offended, but no one made you do drugs. Have all the excuses you want. You CAN lose your kids.
