Hi girls I know you've read my posts here just wanted to create another question/support group for us ladies currently expecting after doing the NIPT who will be retesting after birth? If the difference is not obvious I'll probably retest for peace of mind....
Currently 21 weeks due March how about you girls?
I hope everyone is doing well feel free to post vents etc hope this helps everyone as its difficult to find support for our situations.

DDC prenatal test was incorrect. It was proven in court with a post birth test from Labcorp.

I don't know why mine is so different. I don't understand why all this is happening. I wish I slept with someone else I really do my life would be so much easier right now. I don't want him to be the father but he is. All this other crap, this three ring circus I am having to go through just to get a test., I won't forget it. The fact that I am having to ask my family to buy diapers and formula right now just so I can pay the lawyers, I will not forget it.

Hi Charnamarie. What happened to the whole prenatal paternity test thing? Did you retest after birth? Was DDC really wrong?

Hey Hun don't give up ! Argue with them that even on the paper it states they aren't court admissible even other women who are fighting to declare paternity for legal purposes have to use a state approved test and facility

It's not looking good for me ladies. I go to court in three weeks but my lawyer doesn't think the judge will order another test besides the prenatal one, which blows my mind and breaks my heart. This whole thing has turned into a circus and I think people have forgotten that there is a real life child involved here. People are quoting case law to me and talking about test accuracy and I am just staring at my son wondering why isn't he reason enough. And if they are so sure in the prenatal one then why does it matter if we do another one, unless he doesn't want him no matter what. That is what scares me is that when he finds out the truth he still rejects him and then I have wasted my time and energy. I am going bankrupt with this court case and, according to my lawyer, end up paying his lawyer costs no matter what  and I probably won't get a retest. Here I am a single mom and I know without a doubt who the father is but do I lose everything to prove it. I am very very close to losing my job because I don't have childcare. I have cleaned out all my bank accounts. I am flat broke. I have prayed about it and talked to my preacher and the answer I get is to keep fighting. I just hope that once the truth comes out this is all worth it. I hope ten years down the road when my son has a relationship with his father I can say I did the right thing.

Hey girl Hmn they have the Walgreens test with ddc but that would be sorta pointless since they already have your DNA on file and I'm sure if u told them u wanted to do it secretly they probably wouldn't allow u too... Maybe look up a second reputable company which accepts hair samples or tooth brushes or other forms of items for DNA sampling... As far as I know both blood and swab form tests are very accurate they are just processed differently
