Awaiting Paternity Confirmation Group

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.

One of my bbys is super light, brown hair, and like colored eyes. So basing my prenatal paternity test on looks is not working lol

Really? Is a cheek swab more reliable than a blood test?

Since i already gave birth and i see no similarities with my bbys and partner i want to secretly do a paternity test at home. Is it possible?

Just wanted to note that the prenatal test now being offered by ddc states they only need a mouth swab from the father.... I'm just wondering why they changed it...... I'm still awaiting giving birth here :/

Trust me I have tried!! I have tried so hard, but honestly no one believes me. It is the hardest battle I have ever fought. I am so close to just raising him alone without his father but I can't to that to my son. He deserves for me to fight. Even if this test comes back negative and the father is chimera at least I tried everything. I will never be able to prove if he is chimera with out his cooperation and I will never have his cooperation. I will always know who my sons father is and that will have to be enough.

This is insane, I will say that. I wish he would just retest but he wants to fight. I thought about backing out but what would I say to my son years down the road. I don't care if he wants to be involved in his life but I will not have "unknown" on the birth certificate when I know who the father is. I have been with one man in two years. My son deserves for me to fight. I need to be able to say  I tried everything.

As far as what I can and cannot ask for at court, I don't have much control. I can't ask for a different lab and I can't ask for a blood and swab. I will be good just getting a retest. Because he filed sanctions my lawyers can be held to pay his lawyer expenses so all three of my lawyers say me down and made me do a sworn statement about my sexual history and who my sons father is, that was super fun.
