Placenta

Oxygen and nutrients pass from your blood supply into the placenta. From there, the duct carries the oxygen and nutrients to your unborn baby. Waste products from the baby, like CO2 , pass back along the duct to the placenta then into your bloodstream, for your body to eliminate them. The placenta produces hormones that help your baby grow and develop. The placenta also gives some protection against infection for your baby while it's within the womb, protecting it against most bacteria. However, it doesn't protect your baby against viruses. Alcohol, nicotine and other drugs also can cross the placenta and may cause damage to your unborn baby.
