Does an unborn child get any blessings from his mother receiving communion?

[Nicole82]

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and I’ve been continuing to go to Mass and take Communion every Sunday, and from the beginning I’ve wondered if my unborn child receives any benefit from the Eucharist. Does the grace and blessings and all the other good things we know comes from taking the Eucharist cross the placenta?

Thanks,
Nicole
