In the fetus blood flow to the lungs doesnt occur in nearly as greater volume as fetuses are suspended in fluid and dont breathe. The foramen ovale acts to shunt (move) blood into the left atrium from the right atrium, as the blood in the RA doesnt need to go to the lungs and would be of much better use going into the LA and into systemic circulation... so the foramen ovale means blood can bypass the lungs, as they are not of use in the fetus. Due to pressure changes (when the lungs inflate) at birth the foramen ovale shuts and fibroses over.
