    It is not normally done, there would have to be extreme reasons to do such a medical procedure. The normal procedure is to have the test done after the baby is born.

    It is possible but I highly doubt that any dr that can be afforded by the general populace would be willing to risk the procedure. You would have to run a needle through the amniotic sac and into the baby and there is no garentee that the baby would move and break the needle. This being said... It is much better to wait until birth for any dna testing. I would not risk it for the baby.

    No. The simple answer is wait until the baby is born.

    Like others said it is possible but at the risk of your health and the health of the baby. Miscarriages being the greatest risk.
