paternity tests??

[1234125]

Can I get a paternity test while pregnant.. I'm 26 w along.. And is it safe for my baby?? My bf broke up with me and is seeing other people yet people are telling him he needs a dna test. I'm so suck of hearing about it I want to get it over with!!

It's become recently possible to test babies blood (and test dna) with moms blood. When pregnant, a certain amount of babies blood runs through your veins and they've only recently been able to separate dna strands. Since it's a new practice, I would imagine it's very expensive and certainly not covered by any insurance. But ask your doctor about it!

Yeah I wouldn't get one til baby is born but if he wants to dish out 1600 for one, you can get a DNA test taking your blood and seperating it from baby's. No needles near the baby so no risk. But if he's gna pay all that just to shut himself up, I hope he's gna support that little baby once he/she arrives

Yea but it costs $$$ its best to wait but i wouldn't worry bout what people say though i know its hard not to fuss back but just stay focus on u n your unborn...long as you know who your baby dad is its no one else's business

You can, but it's very high risk and can cause miscarriage.. and i think it's more expensive. The best way to do a DNA test is to wait until little one is born. That way it's painless, no risks, and costs less.
