Sorry, doesn't work that way. Too many people would abuse the system if it did (and of course that screws up the good guy!)

No, you can only collect unemployment if you are available for work.

No. You cannot collect unemployment compensation if you're not looking for work actively. It's best to plan these things out before you become pregnant.

No, you can't. You aren't unemployed even if you aren't recieving pay.
