I had to look into this and sure enough they do regular tests nowadays for genetic abnormalities via a Maternal Serum Screening in the first and second trimesters. Another option is the cfDNA test that can be completed as early as 9 weeks!

This is a monumental change for men's benefit, which I cannot stress enough how awesome this is. Guys, please do yourselves a favor and take advantage of this ability to have paternity testing completed so early in the pregnancy!

Well, it's best to do it without the mother knowing about it.
