Can you claim an unborn child if you were pregnant during the year of 2018?

No you cannot claim an unborn child as your dependent.  The child must be born alive during the tax year to be claimed as a dependent for that tax year.  You can claim the child as your dependent on the 2019 tax return to be filed in 2020.
