What Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing is
A Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity test (NIPP) confirms whether a specific man is the biological father of an unborn child. The test uses cell-free fetal DNA: small fragments of the baby's DNA that circulate naturally in the mother's bloodstream during pregnancy. A simple blood draw from the pregnant mother captures those fetal DNA fragments. A cheek swab from the alleged father is compared against them at the lab.
Why NIPP is safer than older prenatal paternity tests
Historical prenatal paternity testing required amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS), both of which involve inserting a needle through the abdomen or cervix to collect fetal cells directly. Those procedures carry real risk to the pregnancy. NIPP eliminates that risk because the fetal DNA is already circulating in the mother's blood. No needle contacts the fetus. There is no additional pregnancy risk from the test itself beyond the risk of a routine blood draw for the mother.
When you can take a NIPP test
NIPP is available as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy. Testing before 7 weeks is not recommended because there may not be enough fetal DNA circulating in the mother's bloodstream for a reliable analysis. If you're unsure how far along you are, confirm the pregnancy dating with your healthcare provider before scheduling.
When to choose NIPP over waiting for a post-birth paternity test
-
Confirming paternity before birth is important for personal, family, or emotional preparation.
-
Early clarity is needed for decisions about the pregnancy or the family's next steps.
-
Paternity information is needed for pending legal, custody, or support arrangements.
-
Early emotional connection between the alleged father and the pregnancy is a priority.
When at-home paternity testing is a better fit
If waiting until after birth is acceptable, an at-home paternity kit using cheek swabs from both the father and baby is significantly faster to complete and less expensive. At-home paternity testing after birth uses standard cheek swab methodology at the same lab. NIPP is the specialized option specifically for prenatal testing.
Clinical Appointment Required
Where NIPP testing happens
The Omaha office at 7004 Maple Street, Omaha, NE 68104. The blood draw for the mother is performed by trained clinical staff on-site. The cheek swab from the alleged father can happen during the same appointment or separately if he's not able to come in with her.
No at-home or self-collection option
NIPP requires a professional blood draw from the mother. This isn't something that can be done at home, mailed in, or self-administered. The blood sample has to be handled clinically to preserve the cell-free fetal DNA for analysis. If you're outside Omaha, contact us and we can coordinate with a local healthcare provider or phlebotomy service in your area when available.
If the alleged father is remote
The alleged father's cheek swab can be collected separately from the mother's blood draw if he can't come to Omaha. Options include mailing a cheek swab kit to his address, having him visit a local provider we can coordinate with, or having him come in during a separate appointment.
