Which organ works to transfer nutrients from maternal blood to fetal blood during pregnancy?
The placenta is responsible for working as a trading post between the mother’s and the baby’s blood supply. Small blood vessels carrying the fetal blood run through the placenta, which is full of maternal blood. Nutrients and oxygen from the mother’s blood are transferred to the fetal blood, while waste products are transferred from the fetal blood to the maternal blood, without the two blood supplies mixing.

If women who have never given birth don't always use the sponge as directed, 12 out of 100 will become pregnant each year.
