Lean in a forum on Biology notes www.fastbleep.com/biology-notes/32/156/846 is about the clearest I have discovered - but he only mentions fetal blood and not embryo blood.
Another article Human embryonic, fetal, and adult hemoglobins have different subunit interface strengths. Correlation with lifespan in the red cell by Lois R. Manning,1 J. Eric Russell,2 Julio C. Padovan,3 Brian T. Chait,3 Anthony Popowicz,4 Robert S. Manning,5 and James M. Manning1. does talk of fetal and embryo blood but is not very specific.
So if anybody can help me I would be very grateful. I am mostly interested in the differences as far as haemoglobin goes - but also if there are other difference in the blood´s chemical composition during these phases, I am also interested.
Oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood are transferred across the placenta to the fetus through the umbilical cord. This enriched blood flows through the umbilical vein toward the baby's liver. There it moves through a shunt called the ductus venosus. This allows some of the blood to go to the liver.The average adult weighing 150 to 180 pounds should have about 1.2 to 1.5 gallons of blood in their body. This is about 4,500 to 5,700 mL. Pregnant women: To support their growing babies, pregnant women usually have anywhere from 30 to 50 percent more blood volume than women who are not pregnant.

Dear Aref Wazwaz
Thank you so much for these articles - Although I have glanced at them, I shall now study them with care.
Warm regards Tina
