Paternity Test - Why You Should Wait for a Post-Natal Test
The paternity test is a sensitive issue but pre-natal tests can carry risks.
Paternity tests are becoming more common but for each family it can cause heartache and despair. A father who has brought up a child and then discovers he isn’t the father can experience all the classic symptoms of grief - shock, anger, denial, despair – because his illusions of fatherhood and relationship have been shattered. Whether it happens when the child is 18 months or 18 years old it is a difficult experience nonetheless.
For some people the question of paternity comes as early on as a child’s birth. A pregnant woman may find that her partner doesn’t believe the child to be his and may not want it to be. Both the prospective mother and father, together with any other party with a potential paternity claim, must attempt to reach an agreement for the welfare of the child. One way to achieve this is with a prenatal paternity test.
Prenatal Paternity Test
A prenatal paternity test shows conclusively who the father of the child is, so long as the father is tested. The test is conducted the same way as many other prenatal tests - either by chorionic villus sampling, which collects cells from the placenta using a catheter introduced via a needle into the vagina or abdomen, or by amniocentesis, where a needle inserted into the abdomen collects cells from the amniotic fluid. Both these procedures are accompanied by small health risks for both mother and child, which is a good reason to consider the benefits of proving paternity before birth over the potential risks.
Postnatal Paternity Test
A post-natal paternity test can be carried out as soon as the baby is born and carries no risk to the mother or baby. Cells are collected from the baby and sent for testing, and with results available in just a few days it is a straightforward procedure that gives both parties plenty of time to consider the potential outcome of the paternity test.
