The fetus's bloodstream runs through capillaries in the placenta. These are very near capillaries in the uterine wall that belong to the mother. She breathes oxygen, the oxygen gets into her bloodstream, and her oxygen diffuses across to the fetal capillaries in the placenta. The fetus gets rid of carbon dioxide in the same way - only in reverse.

A fetus gets all the nutrients and oxygen through the umbilical cord which attaches the mother to the baby.
