You can, but nothing will get done until the baby is born and a DNA test is performed.

In Utah, no, you cannot file for custody until the baby is born alive.

Get a Restraining Order to protect yourself and your baby from him. Ask for custody in the restraining order to start at birth. It should be granted. Go to the family law court house in your county. It is a division of the superior court in your county.
