Can a paternity test be performed before the baby is born?

Yes, but it is usually not a good idea. One way is to test amniotic cells for the child's specimen. The mother's doctor can perform amniocentesis, to extract amniotic fluid. The fluid is then sent to PTC for testing.

There is significant cost to perform the amniocentesis. More importantly, the amniocentesis presents medical risks to the mother and the child. You should discuss those risks with your doctor. Because of those risks, most doctors prefer not to perform an amniocentesis unless there are medical reasons requiring the procedure. If the mother is going to have amniocentesis for medical reasons, then there is no reason not to perform the paternity test. Otherwise, it is better to wait until the baby is born to perform the paternity test.

Another method that can be used is Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS).This method of testing has substantial risk (including birth defects) and should never be used for the sole purpose of paternity testing. If CVS is going to be performed for medical reasons then it can also be used for paternity testing.
