I am 43 year old woman ... my oldest daughter is 22 she has one son who is 3 years old .... She is now pregnant about 16 weeks but, has not been to the doctor she lost her last baby it was delivered still born and she dilivered him a week to the day before her father passed away .... He boyfriend called me freaking out saying she had been poisioned or something he is a sociapath in my opinion ... He leads me to believe something is terriable wrong with her ... I rush to the hospital and find that once again he just dropped her off and left her at the hospital ... I get to her room and she is not feeling well but she is in no way in the condition that he described .. He told me that there was some kind of plastic in her hamburger and that he thinks she was poisioned.... they test her for everything I asked her if she had been doing drugs and told her now would be the time to tell me and she said she had done some meth 3 weeks ago ... Well,, the doctor comes in and says that she tested positive for meth and thc... she swears she hadn't done any meth for 3 weeks ... What do i do next ? Is the doctor required to tell social services about this since she is pregnant ?

I feel for you, I really do. Under the circumstances I do believe that the doctor is required to tell social services, I know this from personal experience. When I was pregnant with my son I quit using meth, however when my doctor discovered that I had arrythmia he naturally assumed that I was using again and he was required to call social services. Your daughter should by now understand that for the health of her child she has to be honest with the medical staff that is treating her. As a recovering meth addict I have known several women who used while they were pregnant, one woman in particular who was honest with her doctor got a phone call from the nurse who helped with the delivery of her baby thanking her for her honesty. Because she was honest they were able to save the life of her child, even though she had no intention of keeping him and gave him up for adoption she cared more about the safety of this child at the time than she did about her own feelings of being judged. You can't help anyone that doesn't want to help themselves, admitting to her problem is the first step and she obviously isn't there yet. Try not to let it stress you out, I know it is easier said than done but you need to show her some tough love, she needs to hit rock bottom before she will realize that she has a problem and want to fix it. I have a lot of knowledge in this area because I myself am a recovering meth addict and my teenage daughter is now also using, as long as you are making her addiction easier for her the longer she will be in active addiction. Also, because she is still pregnant there is nothing that social services can do, however, if she continues to use after she delivers the child they will intervene and take the child from her because she will then be putting a live child in danger. I hope this is the help that you are looking for. Good luck.

Unfortunately for her 3 yr old son because she is using they can take him away from her as soon as they find out. I hope this is the help that you are looking for. Good luck.
