Re: Drug testing during pregnancy
Your doctor cannot do anything to you without your permission unless you are not in a position to respond and the doctor must do something to save your life (in cases of emergency for example).
However, if you have gone to the doctor in all likelihood you have signed an authorization that allows the doctor to do what he or she believes necessary to provide you care and treatment.
I hope this helps,
