Answer 1

Fetuses don’t get any contact with food. Mom’s body processes it and the fetus just gets the nutrients from it in the blood. So even if a fetus could be allergic, which since their immune system is not developed is not really possible, they don’t come into contact with anything that would trigger a reaction.
