Yes you can but wait after the birth, I don't think you want a needle going in your stomach now.

yes you can. its pretty unpleasant, its an amnio test that means you have to actually have it through the mothers stomach into the baby, via a hyperdermic needle and take one of the hairs off the baby. (the hair has a special name but i cant remember it). There is a risk to the baby involved.
you obviously need to have a dna sample from from at least one of the possible fathers. Mouth swab will do. its a harrowing experience.
this info dates back to my experience of it which was 3 years ago. things might have come on since then. Good luck.

Yes - by having a very large needle enter through your stomach and extracting a sample from the baby.
A similar method to the most extreme test for Down Syndrome, but there is a 1% chance of miscarriage.
Best of luck.

You can, but this can be very risky in deed. Knowing the baby's father isn't worth dangering your baby, for the sake of waiting 9 months. If you are being pressurised, because the father wants to know, just tell him, he will have to WAIT.
It wouldn't surprise me that if in the UK, this is not carried out as a matter of norm, unless you pay hundreds of pounds to have it done privately.
Knowing now rather than later, will not change anything.

No. Not unless there are medical complications but they won't get the baby's DNA in relation to 'who's the father' they check it for chromosone disorders.

It is safer to wait until after the birth.
The only way to do it prior to the birth is through amniocentisis, which carries a slight risk of miscarriage.

you can get a amniocentesis but they are very dangerous...and also not very accurate..just wait till the baby is born
