I Was 18 Weeks When I Stopped Using Meth Will
Question: I was 18 weeks when I stopped using meth will it show up in baby umbilical cord or meconium?
Brief Answer:
NO!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
Having stopped using meth at 18weeks, it will not show up in the umbilical cord blood analysis of your baby. However, using drugs during pregnancy is not healthy and I strongly suggest you avoid consuming any drugs, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and opioids as these can have far reaching deleterious effects on the health of your unborn child.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me as you please.
NO!

do you have any resources that I can read that can further support your answer. I keep reading that at 12-16 is when the baby begins making meconium and any drug use from that point on is detectable. I dont know what information is correct.
Brief Answer:
It cannot be detected!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It cannot be detected. Even the documents you have uploaded say so as well. Every document talks of this being likely if taken close to delivery. You are at least 22weeks away from delivery and I really don't see why this remains an issue.
I wish you well. You are safe!
