DNA or Maury show

Okay so when I found out I was pregnant  I was shocked & in a unhappy  relationship.

In the beginning,i was seing someone I knew for a while. It was no bf/gf relationship. I've known him for  a while & we would communicate here & there. We messed around on one occasion.

We wasn't serious so I continued to do me & became in a relationship with another guy shortly after. We  was intimate  & I started having pregnancy symptoms so we got tested & it came back possitive.

Since me & the guy I've known for yrs was open, he called one day & I vented to him . basically about the unhappy relationship with the new guy & how im expecting. He  listened and congratulated me.

Long story short when I did my first ultra sound I found out something so shocking!!! I been pregnant! I had to break the news to the bf at the time & say"i was already pregnant before we even got involved".

I received a call,  I told him "There's a high chance you are the father" he & I want a DNA TO PROVE. I made a mistake & opened up to him about the bf I was dating. I'm confident it's his & not my ex i dated for a short time. he is distant now & it's awkward because I'm going through this alone.

I'm almost 30 weeks!!!! The update I gave him was ultra sound around 24w & told him it's a girl. That's when he asked when he can do DNA test.
*ANY ADVICE?

Honey, lots of girls who have not been sleeping with more than one guy also get asked for a DNA test by their boyfriend.  In this day and age, a guy would be kind of foolish not to, he is going to be committed to child support for 18 or 21 years, that is a big monthly check for all those many many, months.  Of course he wants to know.  Just talk to your doctor about how to get a DNA test that would stand up in court (don't use a drugstore test, they are too easily faked).  If you would like, call the family courts in your area, and ask the judge's clerk if there is a list of labs that are certified by the court for determining paternity.  Go to the lab with the guy and the baby, get swabbed, and that is that.

You can get a DNA test done at the hospital after birth,  don't go on maury because EVERY ONE IN THE USA THAT WATCH MAURY WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT happen

I'm in a similar situation. The hospital will do DNA testing if requested. Don't go to maury. That's just putting your business out for everyone to judge
