No, however, when you are a fetus, the heart does pump blood to the lungs as there is no need; there is also a hole in the wall seperating the ventricles, which closes up as the baby develops and starts to pump blood. If this does not close up properly, this can lead to major heart problems.

How does the muscular system interact with the skeletal system to produce movement?

you mean how does the circulatory system interact with the muscular system? The heart is made of cardiac muscle that allows it to beat and the blood vessels have smooth muscle in them that help them constrict or dilate. And, the other way around, the circulatory system provides the fuel in the form of glucose and oxygen so that the muscles can do their work.^^ ~fayechums~

How is the circulatory system of an unborn baby different to that after it had been born?

it is because the right side of the heart takes the oxygenated blood around to the other parts of the body while the left side takes the deoxygenated blood to the lungs so it basically swaps the other way around because in a baby that has already been born, the right side of the heart would take the deoxygenated blood to the lungs and the left side takes the oxygenated blood to the other parts of the body.
