Do Austin, TX hospitals test for pot?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hi mamas, I've done my research and have all the info to make my decisions, so no flames please.

 

I am planning a homebirth but it just occurred to me the problems I could potentially run into if I need to be transferred for some reason. Does anyone have experience with ATX hospitals (St. David's, specifically) regarding this issue? Also, any experience with the potential consequences (cps involvement, taking baby away, etc...)?

 

I am not on any state assistance nor do I "look" the part of a cannabis-friendly mama, which I understand can make a difference (sadly). I am in no way a heavy user ( I vape, not smoke) as I have partaken maybe 8-10x total in my pregnancy... but still I can't help but to be nervous :(

 

Thanks in advance!

Gave birth at St Davids one year ago. I never once had anyone test or ask. An I probably looked the friendly type too!

You will be fine...

In Washington state they asked me for consent to test. I simply said no... that it was too much of an infringement of my privacy and it was upon principle. No one said a word.

Blessings
