Chorionic villus sampling is not recommended for women who have vaginal bleeding or spotting during the pregnancy
Chorionic villus sampling is best performed between 10 and 12 weeks of pregnancy
An unborn baby
Chorionic villus sampling can be done at the 8th week. Amniocentesis cannot be performed until the 14th week of pregnancy.
Chorionic villus biopsy is not recommended for women who have vaginal bleeding or spotting during the pregnancy
This can be done after 10-12 weeks of pregnancy using a procedure called chorionic villus sampling (CVS).

Chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis and bone marrow procedures are done under a physician's supervision. The person is asked to rest after the procedure and is watched for weakness and signs of bleeding.
It can be done through chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis but it is better and safer to wait until the baby is born to perform a paternity test.

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.
No, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is not performed by inserting a syringe into the amniotic fluid. Instead, it involves taking a small sample of chorionic villi from the placenta, which can be done either through the cervix (transcervical) or through the abdominal wall (transabdominal). This procedure is typically performed in early pregnancy to test for genetic conditions in the fetus.
