I slept with someone and got pregnant but about 2 weeks later when I find out I was pregnant my boyfriend and I have had sex consistently where he always ejaculated in me for about the entire 9 months of my pregnancy does that affect the baby in any way as if the baby could be his because when my daughter got here he got a dna test that came back positive and another because she didn't look like him should I do a third test just to be safe because the first one we did was positive

If a DNA test says he is the father, he is the father. Having intercourse during your pregnancy does not affect the baby or change who is the father. The baby doesn't have to look like him, but might look like someone on your side of the family or like one of his ancestors. Plus, it's a bit too soon to tell who she looks like -- she will change a lot over the next year.

How were these first two tests done? Was one or both an at-home test?

Get it done by a doctor and make it official. At-home tests can give false results.

Home tests are not worth the paper in the package. You need to go to a real lab and get this done.
No having sex after you are pregnant has no effect on the baby what so ever

Just agreeing with prior posts - once a child is conceived, they cannot change fathers by being exposed to another man's semen.
Normally women can have sex throughout pregnancy barring complications or risks of miscarriage or premature labor, and if the mother gets proper prenatal care, the doctor will tell her if she should substain from sex for any period during the pregnancy. The risk, if there is one, would not be of changing fathers though! The risk might be triggering labor and causing delivery too early.
As when you are not pregnant, you can be exposed to sexually transmitted diseases through sex when you are pregnant, and this can create a risk for the child, of course. So, you should always practice safe sex and be mindful if you are pregnant that if you are exposed to a sexually transmitted disease, that could impact your pregnancy and possibly infect your child.
I agree that it's time to have a professionally administered DNA test. Your doctor may be able to do it, or send you to an appropriate lab in your area.
