The most recent government statistics show that 40.3% of all births<\/a> in the United States are to single mothers<\/a><\/strong>. Additionally, a married woman may be unsure about whether or not her husband is the biological father of her child. If you are a woman who falls into either of these categories, rest assured you\u2019re not alone, a non-invasive prenatal paternity test, also known as a DNA test may be what you need.<\/p>\n If you want or need paternity answers, they are readily available\u2014even while you\u2019re still pregnant\u2014thanks to advancements in DNA science. Here is an overview of everything you need to know about (NIPP) or non-invasive prenatal paternity testing<\/a> that you can take before birth.<\/p>\n The test can be performed as early as the 7th week of pregnancy<\/a><\/strong>, meaning you can choose to confirm who the father is nearly immediately after your pregnancy is confirmed. Unlike outdated methods for determining paternity like amniocentesis<\/a> or a CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling) test<\/a> that can cause a miscarriage<\/a>, a prenatal DNA is completely non-invasive and safe<\/strong> for both mother and fetus.<\/p>\n IMPORTANT:<\/strong> If you are carrying twins, doing a prenatal paternity test is not possible, since there is free-floating DNA from both fetuses in the mother\u2019s bloodstream and current technology does not permit the lab to isolate each fetus\u2019s profile separately.<\/p>\n Like any other important diagnostic service, it\u2019s important to remember that not all labs who do a paternity test before birth are created equal, so be sure to do some research and compare before making a choice!<\/p>\n Women have more accurate, accessible, and affordable options than ever when it comes to paternity testing. Which is right for you? The choice is yours.<\/p>\n DNA Diagnostics Center<\/a> is a corporate sponsor of the American Pregnancy Association. DDC is the only testing facility that provides a non-invasive prenatal paternity test<\/a> accredited by AABB.
