Four Major Hormones Of Pregnancy, Describe A Woman’ S Bodily Adaptations To Pregnancy

ANSWERS

What role do hormones play during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, many hormone levels in the body are altered. Several hormones are essential during pregnancy. They are as follows:

Hormone of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone can only be produced during pregnancy. It is almost entirely produced in the placenta. During the first trimester, HCG hormone levels in the mother’s blood and urine skyrocket. They may contribute to nausea and vomiting that are frequently associated with pregnancy.

Lactogen from the human placenta (hPL). Human chorionic somatomammotropin is another name for this hormone. The placenta creates it. It provides nourishment to the fetus. It also stimulates the milk glands in the breasts, which aids in breastfeeding.

Estrogen. This group of hormones aids in the development of female sexual characteristics. It usually develops in the ovaries. The placenta also produces it during pregnancy to aid in the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy.

Progesterone. During pregnancy, the ovaries and placenta produce this hormone. It promotes the thickening of the uterine lining in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized egg.
