I wouldn't think so. You are the mother therefore you all ready have custody of your baby. Your coworker is wrong. Unless you have another person who wants the baby as the natural mother your rights are established. Custody issues come from a spouse or partner that wants the baby.

∙ 6y agoNo, not if you're unmarried. According to Oklahoma law, the unmarried birth mother has full legal control, care and custody of her child automatically.
An unmarried father has no automatic custody rights. However, he can establish paternity through the courts and then petition for custody, visitation and child support rights.
If you are married you and the child's father have equal and automatic legal custody.

What rights does an unwed father have regarding custody of a newborn in the state of Indiana?
The father may establish paternity his paternity through a paternity affidavit that must be filed with the state Department of health within 72 hours of the birth. Otherwise the general means by which an unwed father can petition for custody is as follows. Remember that in order to obtain legal and physical custody he must show that custody in the mother would not be in the best interest of the child. An unmarried father must establish his paternity and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in every state until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody or full custody. If the father desires a visitation schedule he can request that the court issue a visitation schedule. The court will also issue a child support order if the child is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue orders that are in the best interest of the child.
