I am 6 weeks 1 day pregnant at the moment and I am not sure who the father of my child is. I got my last period on 28 November 2012 and it lasted for 3-4 days. I had sex with my boyfriend on December 8 night almost 9 and about December 15 night almost 16 I had sex with my ex-boyfriend. I talked to my doctor already and he is not sure.. I am really confused!!!

A paternity test could be done if one of the men would agree to be tested. It involves a buccal swab (a cotton tipped swab is used to take a sample from inside the mouth. Here in much of the EU the test is voluntary.

Is is a, "paternity test." The baby has to be born to get his/her genetic material for testing. To do the test now it would have to be done by inserting a needle through your tummy and into your uterus. The baby is too small now to do it safely; that is why your doctor wants to wait. Still the procedure has risk and I can understand his not wanting to do it now because of all the risks involved. I understand you want to know and your are under stress too. But there is risk to both you and the baby in doing this procedure that could cause infection, bleeding and even the death of the baby and or you. So, you need to see this from your doctors' point of view too. I hope this answers your question and helps you understand the need to wait.

I think the name is Chorionic villus sampling (cvs) I will talk to him about it. Thank you..

CVS is from the placenta and used to look for genetic abnormalities... I was thinking of cord blood sampling which can not be done as early as a CVS.
