Choosing to establish paternity during pregnancy is a significant decision. Naturally, safety is the primary concern for expecting parents. At Brashan DNA Services, we provide Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) testing, a modern solution that eliminates the risks associated with traditional methods.
Is NIPP Safe?
Yes. NIPP is 100% risk-free for both the mother and the unborn baby. Unlike invasive procedures such as amniocentesis or Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS), which involve inserting needles into the uterus and carry a risk of miscarriage, NIPP is entirely non-invasive. We only require a simple blood draw from the mother's arm and a cheek swab from the potential father.
Common Myths vs. Facts
Myth: Prenatal DNA testing can harm the baby or cause a miscarriage.
Fact: This only applies to invasive procedures. NIPP does not enter the womb. It is as safe as a standard prenatal blood test.
Myth: You must wait until late in the pregnancy to test.
Fact: You can perform an NIPP test as early as 7 weeks gestation. At this stage, enough fetal DNA circulates in the mother’s bloodstream to provide a definitive result.
Myth: NIPP results are not as accurate as testing after birth.
Fact: NIPP is 99.9% accurate. We use advanced technology to isolate cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) and compare it against the paternal sample with clinical precision.
