The placenta
The deoxygenated blood and the baby's waste products pass from the foetus to the mother. The mother can then dispose of these through her systems.
through the umbilical cord
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.
The placenta is responsible for nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and child. This transfer is vital in enabling nutrition be transported from the mother through the placenta to the fetus and expelling waste produced by the fetus back through the placenta and into the maternal blood stream, which is then released by the mother.

Their blood systems are separate, but certain materials pass form one to another.Why? There is no direct mixing of the maternal and fetal blood. The blood systems are separate but certain materials pass from one to another, for example, both food and oxygen pass from mother to fetus.
The structure that pushes the fetus out of the mother is called the uterus.
Yes, there is no danger to the fetus is the mother is type A and baby is type B
poo and *middle finger*
A fetus gets all of it's nutrition from their mother. The mother has all of the nutrients and passes them along to the fetus.
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
