Can DNA test be run on a fetus? She is about 4 - 5 weeks pregnant, and her husband wants the test done NOW.?

Question

She doesn't remember sleeping with her boyfriend after her last period in the middle of July, but she is not 100% on this. She is pretty sure it is her husband's kid, but doesn't want him to know that she is getting the test done, even though he wants it done. She is planning on bringing her 3 yr. old son in (who is definantely her husband's) to do the reverse DNA deal.
Going further than that, the last time her POS husband beat the crap outta her, I took her to get x-ray, and they didn't ask for a urine sample for preg. test until after her x-ray, and she said no, she wasn't sure, but didn't want the test, and anyways, it was already after she was exposed to the radiation.
She's scaired that her "mentally challanged" boyfriend is the dad. She is also scaired that the baby may be "damaged" by the radiation, and is talking abortion if it is her boyfriend's, and unsure about abortion if it is her husband's.
I don't know what to say to her, other than don't cheat! Please help!

What soap opera do you live in?

Man, thats messed up!

Answer 2

A DNA test is possible in utero, but it's spendy, and it's risky. Her insurance will NOT pay for it. This will have to be an out of pocket expense, and it will take several weeks to get the results back. DNA testing is not like it is on TV. You can't get results in 30 seconds or during a commercial break. It literally does take weeks to figure it out.
As for the radiation exposure, I'm sure the baby will be fine. Did they x-ray her pelvis specifically, or was it her head, or her arm or ribs or something? The lead apron is to help protect against radiation, but you don't get that much radiation exposure when having one x-ray done, and pregnant or not, they put the apron on you. So she shouldn't freak out about that.
As for her POS hubby, maybe she needs to think about leaving him and raising her kids on her own. Abuse is a cycle. Her son will grow up watching that, and will have a much higher chance of repeating that behavior. I'm sure she doesn't want her little boy to grow up to be an abusive POS like his father.

Answer 3

First of all she needs to dump both those loosers and take care of herself and her children regardless of who the "sperm donor" is. No women deserves to be in an abusive relationship. I don't care what she thinks she has done. . .or not done, no man shoud ever hit a women and vice versa. What happened to respect and their marriage vows? And if her relationship is so bad with the hubby why does she think she needs to have a "mentally challenged" bf? This women needs some serious therapy. It sounds like there are security issues here that need to be resolved within herself. She needs to think about whats best for her and her children's safety.

Maybe the whole family needs a little counseling!! What a mess, I'm sorry for your friend, but I believe you pay the consequences for your actions. . .good and bad. She put herself in this situation, she needs to find a way out of it.

Recommend a good therapist and family counselor, be honest with her and tell her how you feel about the situation. Maybe she's crying out for help, but not being heard. Sometimes the truth hurts, but it's the best advice you can give.

Good luck with that one!!!

Answer 4

Okay - there is a DNA testing done to test if an unborn fetus belongs to the husband or boyfriend. It is called: Fetal Cell/DNA Prenatal Paternity Test - A Noninvasive Prenatal Paternity Test Sampling Only the Mother's Blood.

This prenatal paternity test uses only the mother's blood - and samples from the alleged father(s) - to determine the paternity of the child as early as 13 weeks into gestation.

Tell your friend to take this as a lesson learned... be with one perosn, at a time. Especially if you're married, this problem wouldn't be happening.

Answer 5

Whoever "she" is has some deep issues. First off, you can't do a DNA test until a few months after the baby is born.

But why do you call her boyfriend mentally challenged? Its apparent that SHE is as well for having kid after kid with unfit men. Next, how is her husband a POS if SHE is the one who cheated on him and got pregnant? No wonder her husband wants the DNA test NOW, but unfortunately they'll both have to wait.

Answer 6

Sounds bad...but here we go,
1st: It doesn´t matter if her husband wants "now"
if doctors say its dangerous for the baby then
the dumb husband will have to wait
2nd She is obviously sleeping around....
she already has a child and
she has amnesia?
How can she not remember who she slept with?
3rd X rays are very dangerous to unborn babies....
but whats done is done....once she begins getting
her ecosounds she can rule out any harm done to the baby
or not....
4th Abortion: This girl is a mess!
I don´t know where to start! Is she your friend?
Where did you get her? Take her back and get a refund!

5th: What to say to her?
Who cares? I do not think she will listen to a word you say.
Meanwhile, do you have better things to do?
For example more friends in trouble?

Answer 7

I believe at that young of a term the baby shares blood with the mother, so fathers DNA may be hard to get. Later in the term it is possible, but I don't think it would be wise until the baby is born.
On a more important note, GET OUT OF ANY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP! There is no excuse for that crap.

Answer 8

Wow, what a mess! I think it's SO wrong to bring her threee year old to take the test for the unborn baby. Besides, the document will have the childs name and birthdate on it.

This should be a lesson for all those who cheat!

Answer 9

There is no way to do a dna test on a fetus you have to wait till the child is born...

Answer 10

Tell your husband how he would like s@#! stuck up his a*#.And to answer your question no it's not possible, so tell him to sit his stupid f!@#%ng a** down and be a man about making a child a handling responsibility for you and the future child. F!@# HIM!!!!

Answer 11

What a soap opera. With friends like that, who needs enemies? Seriously girl, it's time for you to find some new friends that aren't going to drag you down into their drama.
