How does food get to the fetus?

Answer:
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.
