The only way while pregnant is to have an amniocentesis and NO Dr. will order one unless it's necessary. Sorry...you're gonna have to wait until the baby is born.

Prenatal testing requires sample collection procedures performed by an OB/GYN. To obtain prenatal samples, one of the following two procedures is performed depending on the stage of pregnancy:
Chorionic Villi Sampling (CVS): During the 10th to 13th week of pregnancy, a small DNA sample can be taken from the placenta, a membrane that partially surrounds the developing fetus. This procedure is performed either transcervically (through the vagina) or transabdominally (through the abdominal wall).
Amniocentesis: During the 14th to 24th week of pregnancy, a sample of amniotic fluid can be drawn. The amniotic fluid, found in the sac surrounding the developing fetus, contains fetal cells that can be used for DNA analysis. Sampling is performed transabdominally (through the abdominal wall).
Both of these procedures must be performed by an OB/GYN. The procedures are invasive, so there is a slight risk of infection and of miscarriage. These tests are never usually advised for just paternity reasons; most often, the mother needs the tests for other health issues. We advise all mothers to consult their OB/GYN for more information about the risks involved.

Yes, but you would have to do an amnio, which risks the health of the baby.
