How can you determine who the babys father is at 8 weeks?
If you have an eight-week old baby but do not know who its father is, you'll need to have paternity testing performed to establish who is the father. A DNA sample is taken from the child as well as from each of the men with whom you had sexual relations. A laboratory will compare the samples to determine paternity. These tests would need to be conducted by a doctor, so you should go to your doctor and inquire about having the test performed. If you have trouble getting the men to cooperate, they can likely be compelled to provide a DNA sample through the family court system. In that case, go there for help. If you're talking about prenatal testing (e.g. 8 weeks of pregnancy), then that's a different story. There are a couple of prenatal paternity tests, but none to the best of my knowledge can be applied at 8 weeks. You would need to wait at least another month before any type of paternity test would be available. Again, consult with your doctor.
