The oxygen still comes through the placenta and umbilical cord just as it has all pregnancy. The cord and placenta are within the bag and attached to the mother so nothing changes in that regard. The supply of oxygen is only cut off from this source when the cord is cut, after the baby has been born for a while, or if the cord or placenta are damaged or constricted.

What kind of danger is your baby in if you don't go into labor and your water breaks?

Once the protective bag around the baby is broken, as happens when your waters break, there is a danger that infection can travel up to the baby. This is particularly the case if you have any sort of vaginal infection. This is why many doctors will induce labor if it does not start within several hours of the waters breaking. The actual time it is safe to wait is a subject of debate. Once the waters have broken there is nothing to protect the baby and anything at all even doing nothing can cause labour to start, even if you are pre term.

How does the baby receive oxygen and nutrients?

The baby receives oxygen and nutrients thru the placenta which is where your navel is after birth . Once the baby is outside Mom's body, it begins to breathe thru it's lungs and get nutrition from nursing or bottle feeding . The placenta is tied off right after delivery, and the excess skin atrophies and falls off , and there you go, a bellybutton.
