Okay, I'm very, very young and I need these informations for the book I'm writing:
-What is the paternity test and in which month can you take it (if you can take it while you're pregnant)?
-Oh, and low long does a woman give birth (I mean like from the moment she starts pushing till the moment baby is out)? Is it minutes or hours?
-Any other pregnancy information welcome...
Okay, so I need the first question for my book and the second is just curiosity. I'm 15 and I plan on being pregnant in like 10 years or so, but I'm still so frightened of giving birth. On TV it looks so, so, so scary...

Honey it's probably one of the most painful experiences of your female life, but trust me when I tell you, it's all worth it!
I was in labor for 23 1/2 hours. From the moment my water broke to when my son finally took his first breath of air.
You don't imediately start pushing. There's a lot more involved. Here try this site:

Okay, first, write about what you know. That makes your writing much better.
I think paternity tests are done after the baby is born. They draw blood from the baby, and that's just too risky before it's born.
Birth experiences vary from woman to woman It took me more than a day the first time, from the first real contractions to the moment of birth. The second time was much quicker, but it was still hours rather than minutes.
It can be scary. It can be painful. It can also be very rewarding. Hope this helps.

WELL A PATERNITY TEST IS A TYPE OF DNA TEST DONE TO FIGURE OUT THE PATERNITY, OR WHOSE THE BABY DADDY, OF THE CHILD. IT IS USUALLY GIVEN AFTER THE BABY IS BORN, BUT THANKS TO THE MIRACLE OF SCIENCE IT CAN NOW BE DONE WHILE THE BABY IS STILL IN THE WOMB, I'M NOT SURE HOW FAR ALONG THE MOM WOULD HAVE TO BE THOUGH. AND GIVING BIRTH MAY TAKE A FEW MINS OR A FEW HOURS. I'VE EVEN HEARD FOR 24-36 HOURS. IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE PERSON AND THE BABY. YOU MAY WANT TO ASK SOME MOMS.

A paternity test will tell you who the father of the child is. I believe the only way it can be done during pregnancy is if you have an amnio done.
Every pregnancy is different, so there is no amount of time to tell you how long it takes to give birth. Some women do it very quickly, and others take hours.

a paternity test is a test to determine who the father is and can't be done until the baby is born. the third stage of labour differs, its usually very quick once the head is out the rest just follows really. pushing the head out took me about half and hour to three quaters of an hour. the rest of the labour was the contractions pushing the babies head far enough for me to take over the pushing myself.

not sure on the first part but the giving birth part takes up to hours, first child you are usually in labor for around 12-24 hours till the baby comes...also you can search for these answers anywhere on the internet, askjeeves.com, yahoo search, google search, or any med websites
