Question
I was seeing this girl on and off. At the end of May 2009, she told me that she was pregnant with my baby. I remember sleeping with her on the 30th of April 2009 and the 3 of May 2009. Could this be my baby????
With a due date of January 12, it looks like she conceived mid to late April, probably between April 17 and April 24. However, without any further information (ultrasound dating, her menstrual history, etc.) it would be impossible to tell exactly when she conceived.
Because you were sleeping with her around that time, I would suggest taking a paternity test after the baby is born to determine whether or not you are the father.

As a certified childbirth educator and birth doula, I can answer questions dealing with preparing for birth, childbirth classes, pregnancy, what happens during labor and birth, doulas, VBAC, natural childbirth, cesarean birth, interventions in labor, labor, birth, helping someone through labor, concerns or fears about labor and birth, doulas, breastfeeding, and other topics dealing with pregnancy, labor, and birth.
Experience
Since 2004, I have taught childbirth education classes focused on helping couples gain confidence, make decisions for their birth, and give them tools for helping them get the birth they want. Since 2004, I have also attended births in local hospitals as a birth doula (as of 8/10, I have attended 120 births) so I am able to see firsthand what is working in helping couples deal with labor. I am also a mom of five children, and have various birth experiences myself, including unmedicated birth and a cesarean.
