There is no actual "custody" before a baby is born. It's not necessary- it is inside of and part of its mother's body. Generally, custody issues cannot be raised until after the child is born.

However, if a pregnant woman is found to be doing something that is endangering her fetus (drug abuse for example), the state can place her in protective custody until the child is born.

How can you get custody for your unborn child if you know that its yours?

No one apart from the mother can obtain "custody" of a fetus. Custody battles must wait until the child has been born. You can file for paternity testing, although it would probably be best to wait until the child is born before doing that. If the tests prove the child is yours, you can then file for custody. Due to physical restrictions, I would assume that a father can't get custody of an unborn child.
