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.

Something I learned when it happened to me is that they make rhogam for when this happens with Anti-D antibodies but there are other antibodies your baby could have like Anti-E and Anti-K (Kell) that they don’t make a shot for! It can be very dangerous.
