We have found detectable levels of microplastics in all parts of the human placenta: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412020322297
It would seem the answer is "yes", depending on the region you are pregnant in.

The answer is no. The question is not about detectable levels but about levels comparable to these leading to the effects in the article. The article itself mentions that the levels are not even remotely close to those found in any organism.
