Pregnancy blood tests are designed to detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. These tests are not specifically designed to screen for drugs or drug abuse. However, if your healthcare provider has concerns about drug use during pregnancy, they may order additional tests to check for the presence of drugs or their metabolites.
It is important to note that using drugs during pregnancy can have harmful effects on both the mother and the developing fetus. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is crucial to discuss any drug use with your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible care for you and your baby.
