Because you feel the need to impress and are worried about making a mistake in front of her. This is extremely common, especially in new relationships. Just try to realize she likes you for you and be yourself. The more time spent with each other the more comfortable you will become

You may feel nervous because you're not used to many relationships. You also could feel like there is an expectation of sexual engagements, which may make you feel uncomfortable. The nerves will probably pass over time, as you get to know her better. :)

Possibly because she makes you unsure at some point about anything, or you like her a lot and that makes you nervous around.

There can be a variety of reasons that you may be nervous around your girlfriend. It might be helpful to think that she may be feeling much the same way as you do. Recognise and acknowledge your thoughts and physical feelings at the point in which the nervousness starts - you can use this knowledge as a base point to build on your confidence or address the issue that you have found.

Because I'm constantly afraid of messing up or embarrassing her. I'm worried I might become something she doesnt want and I really really don't want to lose her.

You may feel guilty, feel pressured, be afraid of her, may be shy or anxious, or afraid to say/do something wrong.

You may feel nervous around your girlfriend because you care about her! Sometimes, it's actually harder to feel relaxed, silly, or let go around those we care about. We want them to think well of us, of course, and this can stir up anxious thoughts in our heads that hold us back from expressing ourselves. You care about your girlfriend and her perspective of you. It's only natural to feel how you do! :-)
