    If your taking drugs while your pregnant stop now. That is so selfish I have seen baby's affected by drugs. They are affected physically and emotionally. Please think of your child. Put he or she #1 your baby deserves it.

    No a Doctor can't do anything to you without your permission. But I have to say, if you are taking any kind of drugs then you're risking your baby's life and if they survive they could be very ill or even disabled when born. Then social services could get involved.

    Yes - if u agreed for ur blood to b sent off to be tested a doctor can ask for many test he sees fit

    No. But do i need to say it. Drugs are bad enough. If your not going to stop then atleast be decent enough to stop while your pregnant. How would you feel if your child had a birth defect because you were doping. Just a thought.

    They are not allowed to test without your permission, however there is usually a hidden clause that you agree to let them test in all the paperwork they have you fill out.

    No. I hope you dont take drugs or your baby will suffer the consequences.

    No. But bear in mind that drugs will affect your baby adversely.

    Testing you for any drugs you may have in your system is not intrusive. Irrelevant that you are pregnant.
