The lungs of fetus are not working like they will after they are born. They are not responsible for oxygenation as this is done by the mother's body.
The lungs are designed to function with gravity during inhalation and exhalation is caused by the elastic nature of the lungs.
When a person is inverted for too long the cause of death is asphyxiation.

Death from inversion can also be caused by a pooling of blood in the brain and that’s what i’m referring to.

A bub in the womb has constant pressure provided by mums body, gravity is also somewhat regulated by the pressure in the womb as that pressure is essentially constant. Blood doesn't really pool in a particular spot in a baby unless there are vascular issues.
