Reply to comment by platinums99 in TIL, the placenta that forms with a fetus isn't created by the mother. It grows from the fertilized egg and some fetuses actually develop outside the uterus attached to the intestines in the body cavity. by darw1nf1sh
Right? Like I get what the fact is supposed to be but the wording is annoying. Whose blood, oxygen and nutrients is the organ sponging off of to get bigger and bigger. The placenta is created by the mother as much as the baby is - i.e. completely.

Completely? No sperm, no embryo/fetus/baby and no placenta either.
