Question
Hello, I have a question I was hoping you could help me with. I was away for two months earlier this year and returned on February 22 of this year, on this day I had sex with my girlfriend and she is now pregnant. Her due date is on November 4th is this due date about right from the time we had sex? Reason I ask is I recently found out she was seeing someone else when I was gone and want to make sure this one is mine. Thank you."
Because she had sex with someone else close to the time of conception, it would be impossible for me to determine whether or not you are the father without additional information. I would suggest having a paternity test done after the baby is born so that you can know one way or the other.
Good luck!

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.
