More details to this question:
I have a previous case and I'm currently pregnant due Feb 22 and having a difficult time getting into my doctors because of insurance problems. I just want to know what to expect if I deliver before I can get to see doctor. Is being clean at the time of delivery going to make a difference?

Yes, it will make a difference. If you or your child test positive at birth for illegal substances, your child WILL go to state custody. If you haven't been clean living, it's too late to get that way if you are due in days. Time to find counsel in advance unless you will be relying on appointed counsel.
