How To Identify As To Who Is The Father Of The Child?
im 26 weeks pregnant and am not sure who the father is. I had sex about 5 days(guy 1, sept 13th)before my period, then had my period(sept 18th) or thought i had my period, 6 days had cramps as usaul. Then had about a week and half later( oct 1st, guy 2) i got with my ex. I found out i was pregnant about 2 weeks later and missed my period. I heard that its not possible to have a period while pregnant but worried about if guy 1 could be the dad? Im ashamed and stressing out and been with my ex and he knows about the other guy.

Hallow Dear,
Since you had period after the sex incidences on and around September 13, it is unlikely that those sexual encounters had cased pregnancy in you.
Moreover, the other sexual relations you had on October 1 was about 10 days after the menses stopped; i.e. around day 16 of the cycle. This is most likely to be the responsible act for resulting into pregnancy for following reasons:
1. The egg is released 14 days prior to next menstrual cycle. So if your menstrual period is of 30 days, it would fall on day 16 of the cycle.
2. Egg has life of 24 hours while sperms are 72 hours active; hence a period of about a week around the day of egg release is the fertile period.
3. You had your intercourse with guy 2 on day 16. So this fellow is most likely the father of your baby to be born.
For further confirmation, you may opt for DNA test.
I am sure this clarifies your dilemma.
