Is He My Daddy?

May 30th 2009 01:26
I recently wrote an article on paternity testing that opened my eyes a bit about the process. According to my research, paternity testing can take place as early as the 10th week of pregnancy. As soon at that heart is beating, the daddy can be named.

The process used to test paternity is known as chorionic villus sampling and can also be used for other reasons during pregnancy. But wait, ladies, this test is not cheap and it is not something the doctor will just do at your request.

Starting with the 14th week up until the 24th week, paternity tests can also be complete using amniotic fluid. The amniocentesis is performed with a large needle that is placed through the stomach and into the uterus where baby is living. The amniotic fluid is pulled and voila.


What Happens After Fluid Collection?

After the fluid is collected, the DNA strands are isolated and matched against dad's DNA. If there are matches of the loci (of DNA points) then dad is the father. DNA testing is so precise today that the test needs to be 99.99% positive of paternity in order to be considered conclusive.

The best choice, by far, is to wait until the baby is born and have the safer cheek swab test completed. There is no sense placing the baby in jeopardy just because you want to kinow, "Is He Your Daddy?"
