If requested they can do a swab test shortly after the baby is born.  Like losingmymind said, you can have an amniocentesis but there is a risk of miscarriage and the doc will probably refuse to do it.

No, you have to wait until the baby is atleast 6 months old.

If you have an amniocentesis done.  However, amniocentesis does carry a risk of causing miscarriage.
