A growing embryo in the uterus derives nourishment through the placenta.
Embryo's nourishment
An embryo in the uterus gets the necessary nutrient through its connection to the placenta by the umbilical cord.
The necessary nutrients get to the embryo by diffusion from the placenta while waste materials from the embryo diffuse to the opposite side.
A network of blood vessels on the placenta makes the diffusion of nutrient/waste materials possible.
