A non-invasive prenatal paternity test can confirm the biological father before the baby is born — as early as the 7th week of pregnancy — without any risk to the pregnancy. It works by analyzing the baby's DNA, which naturally circulates in the mother's bloodstream, from a routine blood draw. That fetal DNA is then compared to a cheek swab from the alleged father. Unlike older methods such as amniocentesis or CVS, nothing is inserted into the womb, so there's no risk of miscarriage.

Included Tests

Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Analysis
Isolates the baby's cell-free DNA from the mother's blood and compares it against the alleged father's DNA across thousands of genetic markers to determine the probability of paternity — safely, during pregnancy.

What This Panel Measures

🧬
Probability of paternity. Compares the baby's DNA with the alleged father's to report the likelihood he is the biological father — typically 99.9% or higher for an inclusion, or an exclusion.
🤰
Safe during pregnancy. Uses only a standard blood draw from the mother, so there is no needle near the womb and no risk to the baby — unlike amniocentesis or CVS.
Early answers. Can be performed as early as the 7th week of pregnancy, so you don't have to wait until after birth for certainty.
📋
How it's collected. A blood draw from the mother at a test center, plus a painless cheek swab from the alleged father. Can be collected under chain-of-custody when a legal result is needed.

Who Should Get This Panel

  • You want to confirm paternity before the baby is born
  • You want an answer without any risk to the pregnancy
  • You need to establish paternity early for planning, support or peace of mind
  • You'd rather not wait until after delivery to know
  • You may need a legally admissible prenatal result and both parties can be collected under chain-of-custody

When to Get Tested

From about the 7th week of pregnancy onward. The mother's blood carries enough of the baby's DNA by then for an accurate comparison. Because it's a simple blood draw plus a cheek swab, no special preparation is needed. If you may need the result for a legal matter, ask for the chain-of-custody (legal) collection.

Understanding Your Results

Results post to your secure online account, usually 7–10 business days after the lab receives both samples — prenatal analysis takes longer than standard swab tests because the baby's DNA must be separated from the mother's. A probability of paternity of 99.9% or higher confirms the alleged father; an exclusion rules him out. The result is just as reliable as testing after birth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this test safe for my baby?
Yes — completely. It uses only a standard blood draw from your arm. Nothing is inserted into the womb, so there is no risk of miscarriage, unlike invasive methods such as amniocentesis or CVS.
How accurate is a prenatal paternity test?
Very accurate. Modern non-invasive prenatal paternity testing analyzes thousands of genetic markers and typically reports a probability of paternity of 99.9% or higher for an inclusion, with exclusions reported conclusively.
How early can I take it, and how is it collected?
As early as the 7th week of pregnancy. The mother has a simple blood draw at a test center, and the alleged father provides a painless cheek swab — that's all that's needed.
Can the result be used in court?
It can be, if you choose the legal (chain-of-custody) collection, where identities are verified and documented. A standard collection is for personal peace of mind only.
Is this billed to insurance?
No — you pay directly here, and nothing is billed to insurance. Your results go only to your secure account.
