I believe the only way to determine if your child has achondroplasia before birth is by having an ultrasound. They would measure the bones to determine if the child is growing accordingly to age, however it has to be done after the 4th or 5th month of pregnancy, because that's when it would show up on the ultrasound.

If a woman has an extramatrital affair and becomes pregnant with her lover's child before she is divorced from her husband, paternity tests must be collected at the time of the birth to determine whose child it is.
