This prenatal DNA testing method is designed to provide paternity information before your baby is born. Availability can depend on gestational age and the laboratory’s ability to obtain an adequate sample.

What to Know Before Your Appointment

• Testing is performed after the 7th week of pregnancy
• Results may be limited if potential fathers are closely related
• Testing is generally not suitable for twin or multiple pregnancies

Pregnancy timing, multiple gestation, and close biological relationships can affect laboratory interpretation. Our Los Angeles team can review these factors before collection and explain whether testing is appropriate.

Here’s what to expect at your appointment:

• Check-In Process: You’ll complete a brief check-in, provide identification, and confirm test details with our staff.
• Sample Collection: A trained collector can guide both parties through the process in a private setting. The pregnant participant provides a maternal sample, while the alleged father completes a DNA cheek swab for comparison.
• After Collection: Your samples are securely prepared and sent for analysis. We can explain your expected timeline and how results are delivered.

To make your visit as smooth as possible:

• Bring a valid photo ID
• Confirm your test type in advance
• Arrive a few minutes early
• Write down any questions you may have
• Decide who should receive the results

Why Consider Prenatal DNA Testing?

Prenatal testing can provide answers before birth, when families may be planning conversations and decisions around parenting responsibilities or finances.

Benefits include:

• Plan Ahead with Confidence: Consider parenting and financial decisions earlier
• Prepare for Legal or Administrative Matters: Identify whether legal testing procedures may be needed
• Reduce Uncertainty: Gain clarity during an emotional and important stage
• Encourage Open Communication: Help families move forward with clear information

Paternity information may also be relevant to family medical history discussions, but it doesn’t replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Legal vs. Personal Prenatal Testing Options

Tell us how you plan to use the results so we can arrange the correct collection and documentation before your appointment.

If your results may be used by a court, government agency, or other authority, legal testing includes identity verification, documented collection, and secure sample handling. We use facilities accredited by AABB to conduct legal, chain-of-custody testing. Whether a result is accepted depends on the requirements of the receiving authority.

For those seeking private answers, personal paternity testing doesn’t include the same legal documentation requirements. Many clients choose this option for personal decision-making, but it may not satisfy a court’s or agency’s evidence requirements.
