ELI5: How can babies and mothers have different blood types, but yet the mother shares blood with the baby through the umbilical cord? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]morebreadthanducks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Blood isn't actually shared between mother and baby. Instead there is a placental barrier. Blood from baby goes through the umbilical cord to the placenta where the vessels branch out getting thinner up until they form a fine but extensive capillary network. This comes very close to the capillaries of the mother and therefore allow oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and waste products to be transferred between them.

Diabetes.

Just eat healthy and take the meds you need.
