How can you check on a baby while in the womb?
Paternity testing can be performed on women while pregnant using amniocentesis method. This is done by inserting the mother's womb by a very thin needle to collect approximately two tablespoons of fluid from the unborn child. Fluid is made up of baby's DNA sample, which is then compared against the potential father's DNA.
