Several: The presumed father can provide DNA through a blood sample or cheek swab. The only non-invasive, and thus, safest, way to get a sample from the baby before birth is from a blood sample of the mother. The baby's DNA is present in varying amounts beginning as early as the 8th week of pregnancy. Google The American Pregnancy Association for more info.
