How far along do you have to be to get a paternity test? (Pregnant)?

Question:

Answers:
Paternity testing can be done between the 10th through the 13th week or 14th to 24th week of pregnancy, depending on the procedure to be used. The test may be conducted either through amniocentesis or chronic villi sampling (CVS). When using a chorionic villi sampling, the process is conducted during the 10th through the 13th week of pregnancy. In this process, the cells from the placenta are collected. This is done by inserting a catheter through the vagina to collect cells. The ultrasound will be the one to guide the OB-GYN during the process.
In amniocentesis, the process is the same. Though, it must be done during the 14th to the 24th week of pregnancy. Also, the type of cells to be collected is the loose fetal cells embedded in the amniotic fluid. It is the fluid that is collected.

I think you have to have the baby first so that way they can swab the baby's mouth, yours, and the fathers.
