The Mother is supporting the child, it is oxygen from the mother that is feeding the child, and it is the life from the mother that keeps the child alive, else, early born children would all live (so to speak(, right? If the 'life' was totally dependant on the child?

The unborn child actually does breath. He (or she) just uses some other organ to do it with (the umbilical cord). It doesn't matter where the air comes from (mother, open air, artifical respirator); it matters if the unborn child can take in good air, and expel bad air (respiration: breathing). The unborn child does do this. It's techincally inaccurate to claim that the mother feeds the unborn air. The mother provides it, and the unborn uses the umbilical cord to retrieve it. The unborn child may depend on the mother to keep the available required oxygen stable, but adults depend on gravity to keep the available required oxygen stable.. just in a different way. Outside or inside the womb, it's an environment, and we're all dependent on the environment.
