Timecodes:
you wanted to know about paternity
testing and what your options are before
and after the baby's birth and there is
a test called non-invasive prenatal
paternity testing that can be done
anytime after the eighth week of
pregnancy and the mother's blood is
drawn and compared to a sample from the
father or potential father's to
determine who the father actually is and
it's 99.9% accurate there is absolutely
no risk to the baby by doing this test
there are more definitive tests that can
be done but it can cause potential harm
to the pregnancy and put the baby in
pregnancy at risk so for this reason the
blood test is recommended if a mother
needs to know paternity during the
pregnancy after the baby is born it's
pretty simple an umbilical cord sample
of blood is as routinely collected at
delivery and this can actually be used
to compare to a sample from the
potential father to see if there's a
match or it can be done after the baby's
discharged from the hospital and they
can either obtain a cheek swab or a
blood sample from the baby and potential
fathers and compare them to see who it
is so there are a few different options
I suggest talking with your doctor and
they can discuss your circumstances with
you and help you decide what would be
best if you have more questions in the
future for me feel free to ask them on
