There is often some debate on these forums
about this, but an amniocentisis can be
done during pregnancy to determine
paternity. Usually this isn't done due to
the risks to the fetus and most doctors
won't do it - nor will insurance pay for
it unless there is something suspected to
be wrong with the baby and or mother.
Most often a simple DNA test after the
baby is born is done.
If you do not believe yourself to be the
father, do not sign the birth certificate
and request a DNA test.
Good luck!

A paternity test can also be done
immedietly at the hospital... or court
ordered within the few few weeks of life
