An
amniocentesis can be performed in the second
trimester anywhere from the 14th-24th weeks of
pregnancy. During this procedure, the doctor uses
ultrasound to guide a thin needle into your
uterus, through your abdomen. The needle draws out
a small amount of amniotic fluid, which is tested.
Risks include a small chance of harming the baby
and miscarriage. Other side effects may include
cramping, leaking amniotic fluid, and vaginal
bleeding. A doctors consent is needed to do this
procedure for paternity testing. You are also
responsible for any doctor's fees relating to this
procedure. 
This test consists of a thin needle or tube which
a doctor inserts from the vagina, through the
cervix, guided by an ultrasound, to obtain
chorionic villi. Chorionic villi are little finger
like pieces of tissue attached to the wall of the
uterus. The chorionic villi and the fetus come from
the same fertilized egg, and have the same genetic
makeup. This testing can be done earlier in
pregnancy from the 9-12 weeks. A doctors
consent is needed to do this procedure for
paternity testing. You are also responsible for
any doctor's fees relating to this procedure. Price: $750.00
