No. Although its biological behavior is like that of a parasite, it is not, by definition, a parasite. This isn't really a useful answer, but it's not really a useful question.
It's like saying your newborn child doesn't think George Bush is a very good President. Well, he doesn't think he's a bad President either.
Calling something a parasite describes a relationship where one organism lives at the expense of another. And the embryo does live at the expensive of the mother/host. However, a parasite by definition cannot be the same species as its host. So an embyro, no matter how much it harms the mother, cannot technically be a parasite.
Again, it just isn't useful to categorize an embryo as a parasite or not a parasite. It doesn't add or subtract anything to our understanding of what the embryo actually does.
You would also have to argue that the host gets no benefit from reproducing. I think a biologist would laugh himself silly if you said that to him.
The placenta is the part of the amniotic egg that supplies food to the developing animal. The yolk provides it with food, and the albumin supplies water and nutrients.The Yolk. Yolk is a sac that is attached to the embryo that supplies food.
It means not mammalian
is the microorganism paramecium a parasite?
Mammalian cells have nuclei. But red blood cells lack
An obligatory parasite is a parasite which totally dependent on others for survival.
A mammal embryo is the developing baby inside the mother.
The same way that a human embryo or any other mammalian embryo does.
The Chorion
It is a parasite , it lives in human and mammalian blood .
The placenta.

It means not mammalian
Mammalian Species was created in 1969.
A mammalian embryo gets oxygen and nutrients from it mother by means of the umbilical cord which extends the embryonic blood supply into the placenta embedded in the mothers womb. The blood supply in the placenta is close to that of the mother and oxygen and nutrients diffuse across from the mother to the baby. With egg laying animals the nutrients are supply to the embryo as the yolk part of the egg and oxygen is supplied by diffusion through the permeable shell and shell membrane
The embryo develops not in the wombYour species may vary. Mammalian embryos develop within the uterus of their mothers. Bird and reptile embryos develop inside eggs. Some oviparous embryos develop inside eggs inside their mothers. In some fish and seahorses, the eggs laid by the female, but carried by the males in a pouch and the embryos develop within him.
No. Mammalian red blood cells do not have nuclei.
