What is the name of the test that a pregnant woman can get to find out who the father is before the baby is born?

Prenatal Paternity Testing.
There is a chance of birth defects caused by fluid extraction for these tests. It is highly recommended that you postpone paternity testing until the child is born.

If for some MEDICAL reason you need to have an amniocentesis or Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS), THEN paternity testing can be done with DNA samples retrieved from these tests.
