In some cases, paternity can be ruled out based upon blood types. If you are a blood type B- and the mother is blood type B+, a baby with type A or type AB blood cannot be yours - the father has to be someone with type A blood. Also, if the baby shows definite racial characteristics, such as the eye folds typical of individuals of Asian descent or deep skin tone typical of individuals of African descent, and neither you nor the mother have these characteristics, the father has to be someone else.
However, these are pretty vague generalities - to definitively prove (to a court's satisfaction) that you are or are not the father, you will need a paternity test. It is a painless test - you simply swab the inside of your cheek and the mother and baby have the same thing done. DNA fingerprinting is performed on all three samples, and the odds of you plus the mother generating the baby's DNA fingerprint are calculated.
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.
A paternity test while pregnant involves taking cells from the amniotic fluid or chorionic villi.
Amniocentesis is performed in the second trimester, anywhere from the 14th-20th weeks of pregnancy (or later).
Chorionic Villus Sampling is done between the 10th and 13th week.
These tests are often discouraged for the sole reason of seeking paternity because of the increased miscarriage risks.
Yes, though much more expensive and requires a court order, which may be difficult to get.
The cost for DNA test could be varying depending on the purpose of the testing. The standard paternity DNA test normally costs ranging from $75 to $100. The cost increases dramatically for complicated DNA test. But you can always get good deal by search web.
anyone, did you have sex with multiple partners at the same time? learn to finnish on your face- creampie = baby
Yes, but why? If you are pregnant and already know it...... Yes. Most pregnancy test kits involve testing your urine (usually your first morning urine) You can pick up a test at a drugstore or grocery store. Good luck!
If done with the limitations set by the court, yes. In Kansas, in order to challenge an adoption, the father must have begun paying child support four months prior to the birth.
yes you can have a DNA test done while pregnant, but there are risks that you should read upon before choosing this option. The doctor will insert a needle into your stomach to the womb of the baby and take some of the fluid. But, I've heard doctor offices don't do these anymore because it has major risks to the baby.
You need not wait for birth for a paternity test. One can be done while the baby is still in utero (in the womb or inside its mother).
On the CT there will be a white dot that represents a polarity mark. This is used to connect to the correct polarity terminal on the device that the CT is connected to. Additional CT transformers must be connected to the recording or monitoring device using the same polarity as the first CT.
There are prenatal paternity tests now, usually they can be done around 12-21 weeks (starting at 3-4 months.) It's still a good idea to a paternity test upon the child's birth as well.
In reference to the question, the way to tell who the father of your child is is to perform a paternity test after the birth. The baby's cheek cells will be gently collected with a sterile swab (I assure you the baby will not even feel it!). Then, if willing, any and all sex partners would have their cheek cells swabbed as well. The samples will be sent for a DNA comparison. It is 100% accurate and not at all invasive.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but the best way to "determine who the father is" is to only sleep with one man when you're not on birth control! Grrr ...
This is really a sad question, I am sure this is tearing you apart. You will need to do a DNA on the child immediately after its delivery. You don't want to wait too long, imagine trying to explain to your child that you had slept with different men and don't know who the father is!! This child needs to know as soon as its born, so does the Father. He needs to take responsibility for this child and so do you.
In response to the two above answers: And what if the person was raped? Education and the ability to share without judgments is much more useful then false morals. From what I know the test can only be taken after birth. I suggest you talk to your partner(s) and a gyn. to see what your options are.
Ignore self-righteous people. You are definitly not alone hon. I had an amniosintesis (totally not spelled right) done before I was 4 months pregnant to determine paternity. However, there is a small risk to baby. Also, if it is not already being done for medical reasons a doctor may opt no to do it and if he does, it can be spendy. I believe mine was 1300$. And keep in mind, no matter how hard it is to be unsure of who the father is, one this is for sure. YOU are the mother of lil one.
A paternity test is a relationship analysis test that compares 16 different locations from a sample of a father and child to find the probability of a biological match. This can be done on any age even before baby born you can do the test.
Yes. There are several methods including a procedure called amniocentesis in which a needle is inserted into the uterus and a small amount of the amniotic fluid is collected for testing. Recently scientists have discovered a trace presence of the baby's DNA in the mother's own blood stream which can be isolated and tested.
DNA paternity tests are given with an accuracy. If that accuracy says 100%, then the test is 100% reliable. If the accuracy says 0%, then it means that there is no chance to two people are related.
