Best Answer

You can have a simple swab test done on the baby and the potential father(s). They do it on the inside of the mouth so no blood test is needed. Speak to your doctor or tell them at the hospital before you go home (if the father is there). If he refuses you can get a court order for a test to be taken.

The baby has to be born before you can test paternity. The baby's blood needs to be taken. You cannot remove blood from a baby in the womb.
