Full term gestation of a fetus ranges from 38 to 42 weeks. Doctors primarily suggest 40 weeks in the EDD (estimated date of delivery), but a woman, especially first time mothers, can go into labor two weeks early or two weeks late of her EDD. However, if a woman appears that she will not go into labor after more than 42 weeks, or if the baby is already getting too large earlier than 40 weeks, the doctor will induce labor. That is the number they shoot for.
In any case, the best way to confirm paternity is a DNA test post-partum.

Edit: Yes and No, the blood test will tell you the type of blood of child and father but there is more than one person who can produce a child with type AB blood when matched to a mother who is type B, for example. At best a blood test can simply eliminate fathers, never 'prove' one.

What happens after answering the paternity suit paternity is already established?
It depends on how you answered the paternity suit. If you are not the parent and it is proved that you are not the father, nothing more needs done. If you are the parent, many more court dates could come to determine custody and child support.
Can you tell paternity by blood type?
You can not tell paternity by blood type. You can rule out paternity by blood type. For example, if both parents are O negative and the baby is type A positive, you can rule out paternity. The only way to determine paternity is by a DNA test. A few of the baby's hairs and the father's hairs can be sent to a lab. The lab can determine paternity.
