Paternity Concerns: Exploring Potential Fatherhood After Past Encounter

Question
Hi. I had a REGRETFUL one night stand in May of 08. I got back with my b/f of 5 years, (also my first childs father). I had a period in June 08 and found out I was pregnant in July 08. My due date was March 25, 2009. I had him early on March 12, 2009. They said they could tell he was early because he had no wrinkles on his feet. I have just been paranoid ever since because my son doesn't look at all like my daughter. I am white, my b/f is bi-racial(white/black). My daughter looks tan with dark hair and dark eyes like her dad. My son is fair skinned with blue eyes. (I have red hair very fare skin and blue/green eyes). Everyone says he just looks like me, but Im wondering if a dna test is nessecary or if Im just paranoid. Thanks.

Answer
Holly,

If your due date was March 25th, then you most likely conceived around July 2, meaning that there is simply no way the one night stand could be the father.  You also had a period in June, which should have also told you that you didn't get pregnant in May.


So, no paternity test needed; he's not the father.



Best,
Catherine
