Can u perform dna test even when the baby hasnt come yet to make sure who the father is?

Yes, but...: It can be dangerous, as you have to sample the amniotic fluid or do a chorionic villus sampling, both of which can predispose you to a leak or even miscarriage. It is infinitely easier to do it after the infant is born. Speak to your obstetrician about it.
