Many expectant parents wonder “Can you paternity test during pregnancy?” The answer is yes; however, until recently, DNA paternity test confirmation required the invasive use of a long needle to extract amniotic fluid from the mother and womb. This could be distressing for both the mother and the unborn baby, meaning many parents choose to take a legal paternity test postnatally instead.
With advanced scientific methods, we can now offer foetal DNA testing for paternity that is non-invasive and causes zero stress. Ultrasound Plus is one of the UK’s providers of safe, DNA paternity tests that allow you to confirm the father’s identity while you’re still pregnant. Not only that, we include an ultrasound with our package to confirm the gestation of weeks and a viable pregnancy before we draw the mother’s blood.
If you want a prenatal paternity test while pregnant, our full test kit is the best non-invasive method. By choosing to have a non-invasive prenatal paternal DNA full test kit, you will get the information you are looking for without causing any potential harm to the baby.
State-of-the-art DNA test procedures have made it possible to confirm the biological father’s identity before birth without disrupting the foetus’s safe environment. Once we have a DNA sample, it is straightforward to carry out the rest of the paternity test.
The process of the DNA swab paternity test is as follows:
For a biological relationship to exist, the percentage match between the foetus and the tested male must come back to 99.99%. Confirmations of paternity are over 99.9% accurate. If the potential father is excluded as a possible parent, there is a 99.99% probability that he is not the father.
Inaccurate test results are rare, but they may be caused by biological factors such as limited foetal DNA in the maternal blood sample, prior organ transplants/blood transfusions, or unrecognised twin pregnancies.
Ready to confirm the father's identity?
Contact Ultrasound Plus now to arrange your DNA paternity test!
If you’re unsure about who your baby’s biological father is, we can offer you DNA tests that will allow us to extract foetal DNA without causing any distress to you or your child. If you’re wondering ‘When can a DNA test be done during pregnancy?’, you can obtain a first-trimester paternity test from your seventh week of pregnancy.
If you would like to speak to one of our team members, we offer a free, confidential consultation service. During this appointment, we will offer you guidance on the most advanced scientific methods to extract the DNA.
Once you have settled on an appointment date at one of our clinics, you will need to come to your DNA sample collection appointment to carry out the test. You can bring a witness if needed. The testing sample collection process is straightforward and an accredited laboratory will provide you with the sample collection kits and a test report stating whether we believe there is a match to the possible father’s DNA profile.
You can find us in Birmingham, Brentwood, Kingston upon Thames, Leicester, London, and Watford to book in for an appointment. Contact us to arrange an appointment for a paternity test while pregnant in the UK. We promise to alleviate your worries and care for you and your baby.
The test can be performed from as early as seven weeks into your pregnancy. In a handful of cases at this early stage, there may not be enough free-floating foetal DNA in your bloodstream. Should this be the case, we can book you in for a further test at no extra cost.
Yes, This test is safe for both mother and baby. Previously, paternity tests could only be carried out by performing amniocentesis or CVS (chorionic villus sample) which both require a long needle to be inserted into the mother to collect fluid from either the amniotic fluid or the placenta. Both of these options have a slight risk of miscarriage, but our non-invasive testing is safe as we are not disturbing the baby’s safe environment.
Yes, we can perform a prenatal paternity test if you are pregnant with twins or triplets.
No, your paternity test does not need to be witnessed. This is because medical professionals carry out the test and will go through security checks at the time of the test.
DNA paternity testing is a test that can determine the father of a child while the mother is still pregnant. It involves analysing the DNA of the unborn child to determine paternity.
There are two types of prenatal paternity testing available: non-invasive prenatal paternity testing (NIPP) and invasive prenatal paternity testing (IPP). NIPP is a test that analyses the DNA of the unborn child by analysing the DNA in the mother’s blood. IPP is a test that involves taking a sample of the unborn child’s DNA through a procedure such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
DNA paternity tests are generally considered to be very accurate, with a 99.9% accuracy rate for invasive tests and 99% for NIPP.
NIPP tests can be performed as early as 7 weeks into the pregnancy. The IPP test can be done as early as 7 weeks of pregnancy.
There are some risks associated with prenatal paternity testing, such as the slight risk of miscarriage with invasive testing, amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
The results of a prenatal paternity test will indicate whether the tested man is the biological father of the unborn child. It conclusive result will also indicate if there is any doubt about the paternity.

During a prenatal paternity test, you can expect to provide a sample of blood from the mother and a cheek swab from the potential father.
The qualifications of the practitioner performing a prenatal paternity test will vary depending on the type of test and where it is being performed. In many cases, the test will be performed by a genetic counsellor or a specialist in maternal-foetal medicine.
Before a prenatal paternity test, there may be some specific preparations required. The pregnant mother must come with a full bladder if under 12 weeks, as an ultrasound scan would be undertaken to confirm viability and current gestation. The potential father must not eat, drink or smoke before performing the swab test.
“We have now had 3 scans at the Brentwood branch, and the staff are lovely! This has been our favourite private clinic.. the sonographer Teresa is lovely, she explains everything in so much detail and doesn’t rush through the scan! No doubt we will be back again before our baby comes.”
This testing is a reliable and accurate way to determine the biological father of a child. Ultrasound Plus offers the most accurate DNA paternity test available, providing customers with the peace of mind they need to make important decisions about their families.
Ultrasound Plus offers extremely accurate results and a reliable way to determine the biological father of a child. The Laboratory’s advanced technology and experienced scientists ensure that all results are accurate and reliable. Customers can book an appointment at one of our clinic locations. Once all the DNA samples are ready, they are analyzed by the laboratory and experienced scientists using advanced technology, producing extremely accurate and conclusive results that can be used for legal purposes.
We understand that this test is an important decision. That’s why we use only the most advanced testing laboratory methods to ensure accuracy and reliability. Our testing process begins with a simple mouth swab from both the child and two samples from the alleged father. This sample is then sent to our accredited laboratory, for analysis. Our team of experts will analyze the genetic locations of both samples and compare them to other samples to determine if there is a paternal relationship.
It is a scientific method used to determine the biological father of a child. It involves collecting DNA samples from the alleged father, the child, and the biological mother (if available). The samples are then sent to a testing laboratory where they are analyzed to determine if there is a genetic match between the alleged father’s own samples and the child. If there is a match, it is highly likely that the alleged father is the biological father of the child.
