How To Determine The Paternity Of Fetus?

Hi, My First day of last LMP was 28 -march -2010. I have very irregular periods. After than I did not get my cycle. On april -18-2010, my cousin forced me to have sex . I never had sex with any one other than my husband. Unfortunately I could not tell my husband as he may divorce me even if I am forced. Me and my husband were trying for a baby and we had regular sex. I took pregnancy test on june -15-2010 and it came positive. Till then I did not have any pregnancy symptom. But from june -16 -2010, I started with vomiting and nausea badly. I had doctors appointment on june -25-2010 and doctor did vaginal scan and he said I am only 7 week pregnant. and he estimated my due date will be feb- 10- 2011. On JUly- 12-2010 , again I had vaginal ultrasound(May be I was 9 week 4 days) and due date went to feb-14- 2011. After that I had 13 week scan and Due date did not change. It is still feb-14- 2011. Doctor said my conception date is May-20-2010. But I am scared to death that is there any chance that my cousin is father of the baby? Because If it is not my husband. I have no option other than crying for rest of my life. Pls suggest

HI,
Thanks for the query.
I have read & understood your concern.
Usually conception is around ovulation day which is about 14 days prior to next menses date. If you have a regular menstrual cycle of 28. 30 days it would be around 14- 16th of April.
Your last menses were in March so you conceived in March only.
Now, if you have a 30 days cycle.. more likely to be cousin to be the father. But if it' s28 days & you had sex with your husband on 12th to to 17th of April .. your husband is the father.
* Confirmed paternity would be only by DNA testing of the child & both the persons.
thanks,
I find this answer helpful
