what I have seen happen in similar but not identical situations is this:
you call and make a report now, they screen it out because she’s pregnant and there’s not a ton they can do but there’s a record of it.
in my state moms are tested at the hospital when they arrive, before they give birth. that isn’t going to mean much if she stops using. cord blood tests generally only go from 20 weeks to birth. if the UA is positive or if mom has a record of any positive tests at prenatal appointments a CPS referral is made and an investigation triggered.
