From Mary's Blood by Peter Kreeft (NEW COVENANT Magazine), "...But there is also a fourth way Mary links us to Christ; literally, by her blood. Christ's blood, Christ's literal blood, which redeemed us, was our blood because it was Mary's blood. Mary was one of us, biologically connected with us, our grandmother, our sister, our cousin. Christ took our blood only because He took Mary's blood. So he shed our own blood, our human race's blood, to redeem us, to redeem the human race, through the mediation of Mary."

This is the channel of communication between mother and child, but the blood of the two never intermingles. Each...will have its own separate blood vessels."

From Readers Digest Family Health Guide and Medical Encyclopedia, p. 517. "The circulatory systems of mother and fetus are separated by a very thin barrier in the placenta, so that there is no actual mixing of blood."
