Medical marijuana in pregnancy/newborn testing (PA)
I’m ready for the hateful comments and trust me I already feel guilty enough.. anyways I went through a rough patch in pregnancy and got prescribed Zoloft I wasn’t a fan of it and read some pretty bad things my primary care Dr approved me for my medical card at 21 weeks I was very hesitant on using it so I waited until about 24 weeks before I went to the dispensary I did get a thc cart and a few edibles I consumed from about 25 weeks to 28 weeks before the guilt finally ate me alive and I felt horrible thinking about my unborn child being high or how it would affect them I did just recently find out that some hospitals do newborn drug testing and now I’m freaking out even more I’m just wondering if anyone from PA has been through this I can’t find anything on my hospital’s website about protocols for testing and my OBGYN has never mentioned anything at all about it and I have nothing in my portal at all about being tested I know what I did definitely wasn’t okay and if anything does happen it’s from my own actions and I’ll have to deal with the consequences I’m just wondering if any other moms have went through this I know there’s a lot of moms who smoke their entire pregnancy and that’s their choice I’m not judging if their was more research I may have to I know I’ll for sure be clean I’m just really freaking out about the baby being positive since it stays in their systems longer please if you’ve been through this and have given birth in pa let me know your experience I did get approved for my medical card while pregnant so I’m not sure if that makes any kind of difference or not
