Question 1

Describe (or diagram) the hormone levels during pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

During pregnancy, hormone levels undergo significant changes to support the growth and development of the fetus.

In the first trimester, the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the placenta and is responsible for maintaining the production of progesterone by the corpus luteum. Progesterone helps to maintain the uterine lining and support the early stages of pregnancy.

Estrogen levels also rise during pregnancy, reaching their peak in the third trimester. Estrogen helps to stimulate the growth of the uterus and breast tissue, as well as supporting fetal development.

In the second trimester, the placenta begins to produce increasing levels of progesterone and estrogen, which continue to rise throughout the remainder of the pregnancy.

Additionally, the hormone relaxin is produced during pregnancy, which helps to relax the ligaments in the pelvis and soften the cervix in preparation for childbirth.

Overall, the hormone levels during pregnancy are carefully regulated to support the physiological changes necessary for a healthy pregnancy and the development of the fetus.
