if the mother is gettin prenatal care and fails a drug test, she'll be instructed to stop her drug use. if she continues to use anyway, and harms the baby( like the baby is born with fetal alcohol sydrome or born addicted to crack/heroin/meth) then yes. yes, social services will take the child from her and she will not get the child back until she gets clean and can prove she is capable of caring for the child. if the child is born addicted to drugs the baby will go thru withdrawal. and theres a very big chance that the baby will die.

How long will it take your unborn baby to test clean for drugs?
This question needs to be much more clearly written. It would be unnecessary to test an unborn baby for drugs. All you'd have to do is test the mother while she's pregnant. If she's positive, then so is the baby. If you want to know how long after being born the baby will test positive for drugs if the mother was using drugs while she was pregnant, then it depends on a few factors. Which drug? How much was she using? What is the kidney / liver function of the newborn? It's not a simple answer.
