Does carbon dioxide pass through the mothers blood or the baby's blood?

Carbon dioxide travels through both their bloods. All the cells of the baby and of the mother respire and produce carbon dioxide, which diffuses into the blood and circulates with it. In the mother, it eventually reaches her lungs where it diffuses into the alveoli and is breathed out. The baby has no functioning lungs, so when carbon dioxide rich blood travels through the umbilicus to the placenta, the carbon dioxide diffuses across to the mother's blood vessels, whence it proceeds to her lungs as before.

What are babies eating from the umbilical cord?

When a woman is pregnant, the unborn baby completely depends on the nourishment that is consumed by a mother. In pregnancy, the organ placenta plays a vital role in developing and implanting a mother’s womb. The umbilical cord is connected to the placenta of the unborn baby, which works as the support for the baby to develop baby weeks by weeks. This umbilical cord is the main part that helps a baby to stay alive in the womb. It passes all the nutrients, oxygen passes to the baby as food, and sends back all the waste products and carbon dioxide through the umbilical cord, which is eliminated by the mother.
