Hi,

Yes, if your doctor finds evidence of drug abuse, your baby may be taken from you. But since you did it only once, there a high chance that you will not test positive. It is even possible that a drug test is not conducted. I would suggest that you do not worry. But please keep away from drugs in future.

Best wishes.
