NIPT for second child
I am currently pregnant for the second time, and my first child is 1 year and 9 months old. I have undergone the NIPT test, and I've heard that a child's DNA remains in the mother's blood even after delivery. Is this true? If so, will they be able to distinguish between the DNA of my first child and my current pregnancy? Can I trust the accuracy of the results?

Baby's DNA remains in the mother's blood for a few days, not for one year and nine months.
