There are two guys that I've been involved with and I'm not sure who the father is. Is it possible to take a DNA test even if I'm not that far along?

No. You will have to wait until the baby is born. The best thing I can tell you is try to remember the days that you were with them and then try to figure out when you ovulated. You cant just get pregnant whenever. If its to close to call, oh well. There are lots and lots of women out there in that situation. Be honest with them though about it all. Its is fair to them to do that. The you have to decide what you are going to do from this point on! Good luck!

They can do an amniocentesis and check paternity through fluid.
However, understand that there is risk of miscarriage when u have the procedure. I think the chances are around 1 in 500 now, which isnt very high, but to me, any risk is high.
U may be asked to have an amnio done to discount Downs Syndrome and other genetic dysorders, and if they do this, u can request a paternity test at that time.
I dont think they will do it just for paternity. That wouldnt be wise anyway.
Good luck

Yes it is possible to have a DNA test done before the baby is born but it can be risky and some doctors will not preform it. Also, unless there is a medical reason I am not quite for sure if insurance would pay for it to be done. You can get on a medical website ( webmd.com, etc.) and read more about it.

You may be able to find out about when you conceived and match up the times and guys like that. Other than that, not many states will give a DNA test while the baby is in the womb unless it's medically necessary. You will have to wait until the baby is born to do it.

It's dangerous to do a paternity test on an unborn baby. You can have what is called an amniocentesis to do this, but it is not recommended unless there is some other medical reason for doing this.
You should just wait until baby is born. Probably not the answer you were looking for, but it is best for baby.
Good luck.

go to parentcenter.com and you can put in your due date and they will give you a possible conception date and you can match up when you were with each guy and hopefully figure it out on your own and get some peace of mind until you can do a test after the baby is born good luck congrats and i hope this helps

No DNA tests can be done until the baby is born.
