We really haven't been told, one way or another.  We know that port keys can
carry a person even if they're not touching the port key directly, as long as
they're touching someone touching the port key (i.e., Harry bringing back
Cedric's body).  Why not apparating?

But I agree, the relationship between fetus and mother is different than two
separate people in transportation spells.
