The mother's blood brings digested food and oxygen to the placenta. Here her blood vessels split up into capillaries and the food and oxygen diffuse across into the baby's blood capillaries, which join together to make the umbilical vein, which goes through the umbilical cord to the baby. In some ways, the mother provides the baby with what it needs in the same way as she does any part of her own body.
