Suggest Tests To Determine The Father Of The Child
Hi My name is Penny...I am 22 weeks pregnant and not sure of the baby s father...my last period started on the 23rd of October 2014,Then i slept with my boyfriend on that day and again on the 25th...I then slept with another guy on the 29th then again with my bf on the 3rd of November...who is more likely to be the father?Please help
Hello and thank you for the question! It is possible to determine who the biological father of the fetus is while the woman is still pregnant through procedures called:Chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis which retrives amniotic fluid by inserting a needle through the pregnant mother`s abdominal wall.There is also a noninvasive prenatal paternity test,because there is a small amount of fetal DNA present in the mother`s blood during pregnancy.This allows for accurate fetal DNA paternity testing during pregnancy from a blood draw which has no risk of miscarriage. Best regards!
