She didn't seem to know it.  Her reaction to Thomas leaving, and her
remarks to Richard Malkin about the baby's father indicate that she
believed Thomas was the father.

I'm not so sure about Emily Locke.  Her "immaculate conception" remark
may have stemmed from mental instability, or she really may have known
that something unusual happened.  Like Hurley, Locke, and Ben, she
could be crazy enough to see the truth.

The original plans for the show called for Claire to be a surrogate
mother for her friend Ruth and Ruth's husband Stuart.  On the Season
One DVD set, you can listen to Emilie de Ravin's audition tape, which
briefly describes the situation.  Ruth could not carry the baby
because of a medical condition.  Claire was a little jealous because
she and Ruth had met Stuart the same night, and Claire liked him,
too.  It seems significant to me that Aaron was originally going to be
an implanted embryo.  Perhaps the producers decided that this would
have given away some plot secret too soon.
