No, the mothers and fetus blood supplies do not mix because some babies are born with different blood types to the mothers and mixing the two different blood types could be deadly to the baby.

Where does the human embryo get blood from mother or father?
The mother shares her blood with the fetus. The fetus makes its own blood. The mother's blood comes in close proximity to the fetal blood to exchange oxygen and nutrients, but the two bloods do not mix. If they mixed, mother and baby would always have the same blood type - which is not true.
Toxins can enter the fetus by?
blood flow from the mother to the fetus
What is the function of the placental?
it is the interface between the fetus and the mother's blood supply it acts like a filter - supplying nutrients to the fetus and disposing of waste material from the fetus to the mother all of this without actually mixing the blood of the fetus and the mother
Can a fetus survive when mother is a and fetus is b blood group?
Yes, there is no danger to the fetus is the mother is type A and baby is type B
What does a fetus takes from the mother blood?
The blood is "grown" by the fetus along with the organs and bones. The fetal blood supply is separate from the mother's. The two blood systems interact through the placenta - oxygen and food pass though to the fetal blood from the mother, waste products flow from the fetus to the mother.
What is the source of nutrients in fetal blood?
Blood from the mother is used by the fetus.
How does the fetus get its oxygen?
From the mother's blood via the placenta.
Toxins can harm a developing fetus?

How does a developing baby get food and oxygen during the pregnancy?
Baby gets food and oxygen through the umbilical cord. This umbilical cord is attached to the placenta. This placenta is attached to the uterus. In the placenta blood of the mother comes close to the blood of the fetus. There is transfer of food and oxygen to the blood of fetus from the blood of mother. Carbon bi oxide and waste products of metabolism are transferred to the blood of mother from the blood of fetus.
How does a unborn baby get food?
The fetus is connected to its mother by an umbilical cord. The mother's blood carries nutrients through the umbilical cord to the fetus and carries away wastes from the fetus.
