DNA test during pregnancy ?

Question

Hello, I been dating this guy and I recently became pregnant sure enough he didn’t take it well and accused me of lying about being pregnant so we did a couple of test all came back positive then he proceeded to say he wants me to get a dna test done while I’m pregnant. Not sure how that works? Is it harmful towards the baby? I have nothing to hide so I don’t care if he takes it mostly I want to know if my baby we’ll be okay.

Answer 1

Non-invasive prenatal paternity testing is just a blood test. However, it's expensive (around $1000-$2000, not covered by insurance). If he wants to pay the entire cost of a NIPP test rather than waiting until the baby arrives and they can both do the much cheaper cheek swab, then let him blow his money.

Answer 2

"I've" been dating, not "I" been dating. A DNA test while pregnant is totally safe, and there are a number of home kits that you can use if you're not comfortable going to a doctor's office during COVID. The test is relatively simple, and cannot harm either you or the fetus. It can be performed any time after the 7th week of pregnancy.
