The mother automatically have custody from birth and the father can petition for custody, visitation and also pay child support after he has proved paternity in court by providing a DNA test. As long as the mother is fit he will get shared custody at the most.

What are the chances of getting primary custody of an unborn child with a mother who turned out to have BiPolar Depression and has decided to not marry you?
Sole custody would be highly unlikely, regardless of the mother's alledged mental condition. When a couple are not married, the law presumes the birth mother to have sole and permanent custody of the minor child. The male must establish paternity (preferably by DNA testing) before any issues concerning the child (child support, visitation, custody, etc.) will be addressed by the court.
If parents shared joint custody and only one parent needed to consent for a minor child to marry could the non consenting parent contest the marriage after it has occurred?
No. If the marriage was legally conducted and the license legally obtained, the other parent can't change it. The key word being "if" a legal marriage occurred. When parents share joint legal custody it means that both parents have the right to make or contest decisions concerning the minor child's welfare. Under such circumstances, a minor child could not be legally married without both parents giving consent to the marriage. If a marriage did occur under such circumstances the non consenting parent would have grounds to contest the act.

Can a 16 year old get married to a 19 year old in Louisiana?
Being under 16 means you need: - the signatures of both your parents and that they also are present. If one parent has legal custody in a divorce, a certified copy of the judgment must be presented. - a court order to obtain a license. Judges rarely grant a 15yo right to marry unless there are really good reasons for it since marriage emancipates you.
