It gets food through the placenta where the blood of the mother and fetus run very close together. The fetus is connected to the placenta via the umbilical cord. The placenta and umbilical cord give food and oxygen to the fetus and take carbon dioxide and other waste products away.

The fetus gets all its nutrients, including the air it breathes, from the umbilical cord. This tube is attached to the fetus through the belly button and an organ called the placenta through which the nutrients are transferred from other parts of the body to the womb. Anything and everything the mother consumes goes to the unborn baby through this tube, including drugs and alcohol.:-( Don't even DARE to drink alcohol while pregnant, girls, it might very well kill your little one.

The mother provides food to the fetus. It is passed from the mother's blood to the baby's blood through the placenta. The baby's blood carries the food to the baby's body through the umbilical cord.
