Until the child that your pregnant girlfriend is carrying is born you cannot do anything legally with respect to child custody or visitation rights.
Once the child is born I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to see what your legal options are and to either have a stipulation and order filed with the court as to custody and visitation after such is signed by you and your girlfriend or be forced to file a motion with the court seeking what you desire.
