ok, i’ve recently had a ‘non-invasive prenatal paternity test’ and i am not entirely convinced that it is reliable… at 1st i thought it would be ok but now i’m not so sure, after reading up on the internet about it all i’m just not entirely confident in the result.

i think my last period was the 12th july and when i went for a dating ultrasound scan (in october) they said i was 13 weeks 6 days which made conception around the 28th july giving me a due date of 19th april… that would tie in with my period date. and that was when i was with my new boyfriend. but we wanted a dna test because on the 19th july (before me and my current boyfriend got together) i was with someone else (my ex) so we wanted to be sure.

the ‘lab’ says they do the test using maternal blood because there is fetal DNA that has passed through the placenta circulating in it, so i had my blood taken and sent it in along with a cheek swab from my boyfriend.
and i was quite confident that the test would come back saying he is the father, but it hasn’t, and it just doesnt seem right, i’ve questioned the lab about the accuracy and they said if i send in a swab from the other alleged father they’d have a better picture to look at….. (this would also cost more money) i asked another lab their opinion and they said they dont offer the test because they dont think its reliable, i’ve read some reports on this kind of testing and since found out its not that good, i just wondered if anyone has any knowledge on this.
i’ve read that most labs won’t do it because there has been reports of inaccurate results, but the company i used are confident that their results are conclusive, but i’ve also noticed they are not AABB accredited. the labs that only offer amnio or cvs all are accredited.

The reason this might be done is because my estranged mother-in-law(both from me and my husband) recently is trying to come back into our lives. She says she’s dying and would like to include mine and my husband’s daughter in her will but would like to make sure she’s actually her grand-daughter. This was the cause of the estrangement because she didn’t like me and my husband(oh,we weren’t married when I had the baby)chose me and our daughter over her. Anyway,my husband have already discussed whether to give in to her and are just trying to find out our options if we decide to get the test done,even though my husband knows our daughter is his. Can we just take our daughter to her pediatrician and she can do the swabs(much preferable over having blood drawn)and send them out to get tested? If not,what about those home kits but then how would we know what lab to send them to? Is there anywhere we can just walk in locally? What kind of fees are there with each option?
