@Bollywoodcrazed - yes there are at least two possible prenatal tests, but they are not risk free. Is it worth putting Akruti's baby at risk? Also, Sona is becoming unstable day by day. I would not put anything past her. She may use legal or illegal means to get Daksh. Also, I agree that Daksh's conduct is different than Ayush - but the law is BLIND... and can for a time be manipulated by unscrupulous people.
The two type of paternity test options:
1. Chorionic Villi Sampling (CVS). During the 10th to 13th week of pregnancy, a small sample can be taken from the placenta, a membrane that partially surrounds the developing fetus. This procedure is performed either transcervically (through the vagina) or transabdominally (through the abdominal wall).
Amniocentesis ' During the 14th to 24th week of pregnancy, a sample of amniotic fluid can be drawn. The amniotic fluid, found in the sac surrounding the developing fetus, contains fetal cells that can be used for DNA analysis. Sampling is performed transabdominally'a needle is inserted through the abdominal wall to extract amniotic fluid.
Both of these procedures, which are used to test for genetic birth defects and other possible health problems with the baby, are performed by an OB/GYN.
Because both the procedures are invasive, there is a slight risk of infection and a smaller risk of miscarriage.
