Application for New Visitor visa before expiry of Current

[Calendula]

Hello,

My unmarried partner is pregnant and delivery is expected at the end of May 2017 or in the first week of June 2017 and i must be there for my new baby.

As my current 2 year visitor visa will expire in May 2017, can i apply for a new visitor visa now i.e in February/March 2017?

Thanks
