How To Confirm Paternal Identity During Pregnancy?

My due date is August 29, 2012 and my LMP was November 22, 2011. My first due date was August 28, 2012, but I think my OB GYN added the extra day because of the leap year this year. I'm 12 weeks pregnant, 13 weeks this coming Tuesday. My boyfriend and I broke up back in December and I had sex with another guy on December 16. We used a condom and he pulled out. My boyfriend and I got back together then discovered I was pregnant. We are so excited, but I just feel so guilty. I cannot fully enjoy my pregnancy because I'm worried that there is a chance of this baby not being his. My boyfriend and I had sex very early in December and we did not use a condom and he finished in me. So is this my boyfriends baby?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

If you and your boyfriend had sex early in December and did not use a condom then it is most likely that he is the father. This is keeping in mind that your other sexual act with another guy involved him using condoms and it was intact when he pulled out. If you had sex with two people within ten days and both did not use condoms and you had the pregnancy then it would have been difficult to know and a paternity test would have been suggested.
