It involves the interactions and exchanges that occur between the developing fetus and the mother's body to support fetal growth and development. This relationship is crucial for the health and well-being of both the fetus and the mother.
Could toxins pass through the placenta to the embryo?
Yes, it is possible for this to happen and it can result in fetal death, miscarriage or stillbirth. However, there are several control points in the placenta to help reduce this risk, including the barriers between maternal circulation and fetal circulation.
What factors can cause fetal bradycardia during pregnancy?

Does the RBCs of mother enter the foetus?
In a typical pregnancy, the red blood cells (RBCs) of the mother do not enter the fetus's circulation due to the placental barrier. The placenta allows for the exchange of nutrients and waste but prevents the direct mixing of maternal and fetal blood. However, in certain situations, such as trauma or complications during delivery, some maternal RBCs can cross into fetal circulation, which can lead to conditions like hemolytic disease of the newborn.
How are maternal to fetal infections passed?
Maternal to fetal infections are transmitted from the mother to her fetus, either across the placenta during fetal development (prenatal) or during labor and passage through the birth canal (perinatal).
What are other names for prenatal surgery?
Fetal surgery, antenatal surgery, or maternal-fetal surgery.
What has helped to reduce maternal-fetal transmission of HIV?
In developed countries widespread HIV testing and anti-retroviral therapy have reduced maternal-fetal transmission dramatically.
How is the fetal circulation transformed instantaneously into the adult circulation with practically no transition?
The fetal circulation is based mainly on the veinous circulation during pregnancy. Once the uterine connections are lost, the adult circulation takes over.
What test uses a combination of fetal monitoring maternal reports of fetal movement and the fetal heart rate to determine the health of the baby in utero?
