AnswerIn order to do a paternity test before the baby is born, you need to get a sample (a swab) of the inside of your mouth, the inside of her mouth, and an amniocentesis must be done to get a sample of the fluid surrounding the baby. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the baby is born and be tested at that time.
