MUMS Solihull offers Prenatal Paternity DNA Tests. This is a non-invasive test. We take blood and saliva from the mother and saliva from the alleged father. The gender of the baby can also be revealed with this test. We offer a standard turnaround time for results – 10 days and an express service – 6 days. We can test multiple alleged fathers too.

This test can be performed as early as 7 weeks of pregnancy. Our GPs, Nurses and Health Care Assistants offer these tests – 6 days per week. We recommend this test is performed from 9 weeks as there is more chance of foetal DNA being present in mother’s blood. However – 80% of tests performed from 7 weeks, do yield a result.

20% of tests results yield no result because of low foetal DNA. We offer a Free of Charge repeat test, but the laboratory recommends that a two-week gap should take place before re-testing.

Sometimes (5-10%) – of cases – that require a repeat test – yield even a 3rd inconclusive result due to low foetal DNA. When this happens, we offer a full refund. Some pregnancies show little or no feotal DNA for this test till as late as 20 weeks.

The appointment will be 30 mins in duration.

You can book online or call us on 0121 704 2669. Our friendly team will guide you and explain everything you need to know.

The results are 100% accurate and so being tested at MUMS means you can rely on us to ensure you are confident who the father of your unborn child is. If you want to find out who the father of your unborn child is, then this test is for you.

This test is often referred to as a NIPP Test. We send the blood samples from the mother, together with the saliva samples from one or more alleged fathers of the unborn baby to our partner laboratory and a form which we complete with you. Our laboratory examines the babies DNA, the DNA from mothers’ blood and the DNA from the alleged father’s saliva. Our laboratory can assess the DNA and ascertain which is from the mother and which is from the father. If the DNA does not match the father, then the result will show there is zero chance of the alleged father being the father or the unborn child.

There is no risk to the unborn child with this test – unlike other invasive tests such an amniocentesis.

This is a peace of mind test.
