The developing baby (the fetus) gets its nutrition and oxygen from the mother through the umbilical chord; this chord is connected to the baby in the place of the belly button, where the nutrition enters the baby's intestines so that it is absorbed into their blood. The other end is attached to the placenta; it transfers all the nutrition and oxygen the baby needs from the mother.

When the baby is an embryo where does it get its nutrients?
The mother's blood brings nutrients to the placenta in the wall of the womb. The baby's blood system also connects to this through the umbilical cord. Nutrients leave the mother's blood vessels and diffuse across to the baby's.

No, this would not be healthy for a growing baby and the mother. The mother needs to get plenty of nutrients from nutritious food in order for a healthy development.
Why do babies need the blood from the mother?
Babies do not 'get' blood from their mothers. There is a separation between the mother's blood and the baby's blood. Mixing of parental and fetus' blood is a potentially a fatal condition if the blood types are not the same. Fatal for the baby, for sure, and potentially for the mother as well. What happens is that there is a transfer of oxygen and nutrients across the semi-permeable membranes that separate the two systems. If the baby did not receive these nutrients it would starve and die.
