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.

Custody arrangements must be made after the child is born.
per my knowledge a child born during the marriage is both party's child as where he may not get full custody he maybe able to get join custody
The only one with custody of the unborn child is the pregnant mother. After the baby is born, the parent wishing custody or visitation can file for the same in the appropriate court of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides after its birth).
ANSWER: Yes. Regardless of your age, you are still the mother. You will have legal custody unless those rights are terminated by the Court.
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.
Immigration status is a completely separate issue from child custody rights.
If the Down Syndrome child was born in the U.S. the parent MAY be qualified to remain in the country to care for it as long as the child remains in their custody. However, if the baby was not an "anchor baby" - no.
Usually, in MOST states, custody is not decided until birth due to fact that baby is not considered legal until born.

The mother. The father have to petition the court for custody.
In all US states the law presumes that, the mother of a child born as a result of a relationship outside of marriage retains sole custodial rights unless a court rules otherwise. If the father did not sign the birth certificate or a declaration of parentage, a paternity test would be necessary before the court would consider custody, visitation, support or any other issues regarding the minor child.
When CPS or other child welfare authorities take custody of a child, they must file a suit, usually in juvenile court. This is often referred to as a deprivation proceeding. The father would have to file notice in the suit and seek custody from that court.
