Umbilical cord
The umbilical cord.
With mammals, the fetus has a connection by its umbilical cord to an organ of the mother, called the placenta. Blood passes through the umbilical cord to the fetus, carrying food and oxygen. The umbilical cord is attached to the fetus at a point you will later call your navel or belly button.
Umbilical cord is the life line for the fetus. Fetus gets oxygen and nutrition via umbilical cord. The metabolic waste and the carbon bi oxide is taken away back to the mother via umbilical cord. It is very interesting to know about the fetal circulation in detail.

The placenta. Deoxygenated blood flows to the placenta where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. Oxygen rich blood returns to the fetus. Blood is carried to and from the fetus by the umbilical cord.
No; the fetus gets its oxygen from the mother, via the umbilical cord.
