When can you get a DNA test while pregnant?
Invasive Testing Options:
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) – Available weeks 10-13 of pregnancy. A doctor extracts tissue samples from uterine walls using a needle through the cervix or abdomen. Detects paternity, chromosome abnormalities, and genetic disorders.
Amniocentesis – Extracts amniotic fluid samples from the uterus. Identifies paternity, genetic disorders, and chromosomal abnormalities.
Both procedures require an OBGYN and carry medical risks. Discuss benefits and risks with your healthcare provider before proceeding.
Non-Invasive Testing:
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPP) – Available around weeks 8-10 of pregnancy. Uses a simple blood draw from the mother. Carries no pregnancy risk. We do not currently offer this option.
How long does a prenatal paternity test take in New Jersey?
The turnaround time for DNA results is 2 to 3 business days the samples are received by the laboratory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are invasive prenatal paternity tests accurate?
Yes. Invasive prenatal DNA tests provide:
- 99% and higher accuracy for paternity confirmation
- 100% accuracy for paternity exclusion
Please note: OBGYNs rarely perform these procedures solely for paternity due to medical risks. These tests are reserved for cases involving fetal health concerns or genetic conditions.
Can Invasive prenatal tests be used for legal purposes?
Unlike non-invasive prenatal DNA tests (NIPP), which are often used for peace of mind, invasive prenatal paternity tests can be utilized for legal purposes.
Can an At Home Paternity Test kit be done while pregnant in NJ?
No. Currently there are no self administered At-Home Prenatal Paternity Test Kits that can be used at home.
Do hospitals perform paternity tests while pregnant?
No. Hospitals in New Jersey typically do not offer dedicated prenatal or standard paternity testing services. While hospitals may perform medical procedures like CVS or amniocentesis for health reasons, paternity testing is usually handled by DNA testing companies like Paternity NJ.
