It is crucial to remember that if you had a miscarriage in the same year as your current pregnancy, your findings may be influenced by cell-free DNA from your prior pregnancy. Prenatal blood tests cannot tell the difference between cell-free DNA from a current or past pregnancy. A paternity test can show whether someone other than your partner is responsible for your child. Even if you do not want to find out who the father is, having this information could help in case you need to identify him/her later. A paternity test cannot tell you who the biological father of your baby is, but it can only confirm that you both share the same genetic profile. If you have had a previous loss, there is a chance that the father is not involved with your current pregnancy. In such cases, a DNA test would not reveal anything new about the status of your current pregnancy. It is important to understand that a DNA test cannot replace standard prenatal screening tests performed during pregnancy. If you have had a previous loss, speak with your doctor about any ongoing health concerns during your current pregnancy.
