Babies don't breathe the water in the womb. Their mothers breathe for them, and supply them with oxygen through the umbilical cord. Babies don't start breathing until they are born.
Humans, well no mammal can breathe water, because our lungs can't get any oxygen from it.
Although they do the same job, gills work in a slightly different manner, which allows fish to get oxygen from the water the way we get it from the air.
