Is it fecal matter that passes through mothers stommach directly to the fetus’ intestines. You know.. like a “human centipede” situation, but without any mouth sewed to a butthole.

No, it’s just waste like urea, uric acid, and bilirubin. The fetus doesn’t need to poop for 40ish weeks. Some babies do end up pooping before birth, sometimes because of distress, but also, it’s more likely to happen if babies are late or post term.
Happened to my baby at 41 weeks. she had to be in nicu for 2 weeks because of it.
