There is a procedure, where they insert a long needle into the fetus at a certain age ( I am unsure) and can test DNA, but it is very expensive. Talk to your doctor, it might not be as expensive as I am thinking, but you need to ask your doc so that you can know and for the babies sake. If you can't afford it, they will test right in the hospital when the baby is born, you can have it pre-arranged with your doc and already have the potential fathers DNA on hand. Good luck

You can have a DNA test done while pregnant via an amniocentesis. However, this procedure has some risk involved to the baby, and its also quite expensive (the Atlanta DNA center lists the procedure at $650). You would also need the man's DNA to get the results. If you can't get at least one of the men to give you a DNA sample, then you won't be able to have that particular test. Also, I'd encourage you to consider the risk to the baby while considering this procedure - your risk of miscarriage increases with an amnio.
I realize that the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak. However, I would hope that this experience serves as a wake up call to you. Fooling around with married men and having unprotected sex with multiple partners is very risky behavior. If you decide to raise this child, you'll need to take better care of yourself to be a good parent.

You could have an Amniocentesis done after 16 weeks BUT there is a chance of miscarriage with this. Your best bet is to wait till the baby is born and then perform the DNA test.
Best of Luck

if they do an amnio you can request a dna done off of that though the procedure can harm the fetus and is extremely risky so is not worth doing just to determine DNA otherwise I agree with the pp you have to wait till it's born

When the baby is born. You can probably figure it out though. Women ovulate 14 days before their period. Sperm can live for up to 5 days and the egg is good for about 24 hours. When was your last period? Subtract 14 days from the first day of your last period. That was your ovulation date. Whomever you had sex with starting 5 days before that up until the day afterwards is the father.

I am almost 99.9% sure that dna testing cannot be done until the baby is born, I could be wrong, but I can only assume it would be super expensive to have it done in utero if it's even possible.

You can do a dna test while the baby is in the womb, I'm positive about that.
