You could do a search on Flickr for maternity photos and most will show the settings.

And if you copy the settings chances are they all be wrong for your pictures.

I suggest that instead of relying on pure guesswork here or on other forums, just grab your camera and a willing subject to the venue of your choosing, and do a test shoot. Other than that, hand this off to a pro. You definitely will not get answers here that will help, other than to help confuse you. Venturing into areas of photography that are outside your comfort zone and doing the trial and error thing is a perfectly reasonable learning modality - I encourage you to at least try.

As others have said, use a focal length longer than 50mm. Besides the nice natural golden hour lighting, you might want to try off camera flash (or speedlight on camera if you can't trigger or don't have someone to help you). Take a practice shot of the background and fiddle with shutter speed until the background is exposed as you would like it (not blown out and probably not too dark). Then set your aperture for the widest opening (lowest number) that works. Remember that if you have the father there, too, there will be more depth of field required. I found 5.6 to 7 worked fine. Set speedlight to TTL (or iTTL) and it should look great.
