Hi Sedsouza and welcome to the Forum.

I'm not sure, but if the rules are the same as in the UK, I don't think the child is eligible (nationality is inherited from your parents at birth) and the child's father will probably have some say in this. Probably best that you contact the Portuguese Embassy in London; this link will take you to their website.

Hope this helps.
