Which of the following is TRUE about pregnancy hormones?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hormones that support pregnancy - estrogen and progesterone - are produced by the corpus luteum under the influence of the hormone hCG until the placenta takes begins to produce them after the 10th week of pregnancy. Progesterone, not testosterone, keeps the mother's body from having an immune response to her fetus as a foreign object. Estrogen production is highest right before birth, and drops immediately afterwards. Relaxin is a hormone that softens ligaments - great for allowing the pelvis to stretch during birth, but not so great when it makes a pregnant mother more prone to injury and digestive upsets.
