Thank you for this Chancy. I have sent this onto my fiancé to investigate. 
Greatly appreciated 

It’s a catch 22, New Jersey law requires the father to present ID at the registrar to be on the birth certificate yet I can’t travel to be added so I’m stuck. 
An initial employee from the airline checked and referred me to an American (I think she said Homeland but might be wrong) and she called someone and refused. I was accused of making a birth certificate and I quote ‘ I don’t care about anything you have in your folder’ and laughed as she walked away. 
After having to see my child and fiancé on FaceTime day after day it is heartbreaking 

Thank you - I wasn’t referred to or informed of any revoked ESTA so I think it should be ok. 
 
Have to sit and wait this for the travel ban to end. 

So they didn’t accept the birth certificate as it only had my fiancé’s name on it. I showed them medical documents showing I’m the father as well as statements from my fiancé and the paediatric doctor and I was laughed at in my face.
 
This was all done at Heathrow by someone at check in - is this classed at a refusal? I didn’t receive any paperwork from them just told I can’t check in and board.

Gee, I’m sorry that happened. If it had been clearer before that you were not listed on the birth certificate- someone here might have warned you of potential problems. Did you insist on them getting a CBP liaison or supervisor to check over the documents or was this just the airline check in staff - I’m assuming the latter? Although, no official documents showing you as father would have been a problem anyway I believe - was anything notarized?
and no this does not count as a refusal to entry - just the airline not letting you board. If someone actually laughed at you I’d take that up with customer service at the airline.

Your ESTA might be approved but that in itself doesnt give you a waiver from the restrictions. You will have to wait until after your daughter is born to travel.
 
You can't appeal an ESTA denial, you'd be applying for a B2 visa

It was sent on 18th July

That has reassured me a little, I guess this might have been a slip through the net in regards to receiving electronic notification- thank you xxlian
