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.

I can't believe they wanted to charge you to retest when they were offering me everything for free, a free retest and a free test after birth. If only the father would have agreed. Oh well it is what it is.

I did ask them and they said that that did not matter because it would have been obvious that his blood had no fetal DNA. But honestly I am sure somehow they got messed up. I'll say this when I brought my testing paper work to my lawyer and showed him the chain of custody he laughed and said "this mess will not hold up in any court". My name is wrong, the father is listed as the mother and they lost the picture of my id. It's a mess that's for sure.

201603 I think it's a good idea you started this thread . Im due in 4 weeks and I plan on comming back as promised I pray my results are right.. I had DDC call me back today on my review and they said everything looked ok and if i wanted a retest they would do it for 600$ if I really wanted too but its not worth it at this point especially with only 4 weeks left.  

Charamaire Please come back and update..

It will be up to him, the father. I am gonna give him one last chance to keep it out of court but if he says no then court it will be. I already have my lawyer and paid retainer so I honestly anticipate going to court. I highly doubt he will retest willingly. So it might be a process but I will let everyone know.

You can get a free DNA test through the state after you give birth

I am 33 weeks now and am ready to have this baby!! Since you and I have spoken before you know I will be retesting after birth. What a great idea to have this thread. I hate this stressful situation.
