No, absolutely not. It's not possible for any animal to come out the womb with fleas on them because fleas cannot survive inside an animal.
However, if their are fleas in the environment, newborn animals will become infested very quickly, and can also die quite quickly from literally having all their blood sucked out of them by the fleas. It happens.
Kittens and puppies are often born with worms, if that's what you're thinking of, but if the mother has been correctly wormed throughout her pregnancy, there's no need for that. Likewise if the mother is properly flea treated, and the environment treated, there will be no need for the kittens to get infested after they're born.

Nothing is born with fleas, Fleas are a seperate insect or parasictic insect that sucks the blood of an animal even us, they get ONTO the cat for a drink, they live in carpets grass, hair beds etc. Nothin is born with them.

haha seems like it but no - they come out clean but mum usually passes the fleas onto the babies. The babies are against mums tummy and the fleas simply pop over for a look! Treat the mother cat ( only) with a flea medication suitable for a mother cat ( lactating ) and the fleas will go away.

Cats are never born with fleas. Fleas are an external insect parasite, which needs oxugen to survive. They wouldn't be able to breathe in the womb of the mama cat.
If your newborn kittens have fleas they probably got them from the mother or maybe in the bedding.

Of course not!
There are no fleas in the mother's womb!
They catch them after birth, usually from your carpet (if you aren't too diligent a housekeeper) A thorough vacuuming (of the carpet, not the cats) each day will control fleas unless the weather is very hot.

Where are you getting this idea???? NO animals are BORN with fleas or any other parasites. They get them from their environment, mainly their mother. If the mother has fleas the kittens will too. I have four cats and none of them have EVER had fleas.

No, animals aren't born with fleas. They only get them if they come in contact with another animal that has them, or if they're in an area that an animal with fleas has been around (not always true, though).

no, no cats are born with fleas....they get them either from their mother, from other cats, or from being outside.
