Blood circulation works differently for a unborn fetus in a mothers womb, as compared to a born human. The primary difference is that the lungs cannot be used to obtain oxygen, and that nutrients cannot be obtained by eating. Both oxygen and nutrients must be received from the mother through the placenta and umbilical cord. Waste must also be disposed of through the mother's placenta.
