It all depends on your perspective. It is technically not a parasite since it is of the same species as the woman and it did not crawl inside or choose to attach. Fetuses do not grow on their own and is directly related to the behavior of the woman and/or that of some male. But you can say it is a parasite if the pregnancy is unwanted, since it would be living off of a host with no benefit to the host.
