Does baby get nutrition first or mother?

[Samantha June]

i'm just curious, when your pregnant and you eat, does the baby get the food first or does the mother? like if you just ate a cracker does the baby get the cracker, do you, or is it equally split up... just wondering!

the baby doesnt really get the FOOD (ie cracker) just the neutrience from the food but even if the mom doesnt eat the baby will take neutrience from the mothers body so in all the mom gets the cracker and the baby gets the neutrience thats why its you are eating for 2.....you eat more so that you/the mother can get the neutrience that you/she needs to survive as well

When we are pregnant its first mother who gets the nutritions from the food she take and baby will take neutrience from the mothers body.
