On the day you give birth == == You can perform a paternity test while your still carrying the baby. But this test does carry a risk of miscarriage so I would wait until the baby is born then do the test.

You can test by amniocentesis during the second trimester, anywhere from the 14th-20th weeks of pregnancy. Risks include a small chance of harming the baby and miscarriage. Other side effects may include cramping, leaking amniotic fluid, and vaginal bleeding. You can also test by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) from the 10th-13th weeks. A doctor's consent is needed to do either procedure for paternity testing.

A DNA paternity test can be done shortly after birth, a sample is gently taken in from the baby's mouth.

The test can be done during pregnancy via amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling but most doctors won't perform these tests without medical necessity due to the chance of miscarriage.

Because there is a slight risk of miscarriage from amniocentesis or Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) most doctors will not perform these tests for paternity, so you will need to wait until the baby is born to have DNA testing done. This can be done before leaving the hospital soon after birth.

Paternity testing can be done prenatal as well as after the child is born. It is best to do it as soon as possible to avoid any mistakes regarding paternity.
