It’s on the baby’s stomach. How does it make air get into its lungs? The placenta is filled with fluids and stuff, so how does the baby breathe with a thing connected to it’s stomach? It also provides food, but how?

No air inside. Oxygenated blood and the nutrients needed are already in mothers blood stream so go into growing foetus body, they share a blood stream till birth.

Your brain doesn’t need air, food, water etc, other parts of your body take in what they need and feed the rear of your body through blood. Same as baby… exception don’t expect your brain to fall out in 9 months
