Hormones are responsible not only for your mood. They provide the baby with conditions for healthy growth. HCG - human chorionic gonadotropin is involved in the synthesis of progesterone and estrogens, absolutely necessary for maintaining a pregnancy. RARP-A is a protein secreted by the placenta. For doctors, it is a marker that helps to detect trisomy (the presence of an extra - extra - chromosome in the cell). This disorder causes Down syndrome and other genetic diseases.

But during childbirth this hormone makes the vagina more elastic, and then within a few days helps him to return to the previous dimensions! AFP-alpha-fetoprotein allows you to identify genetic disorders. Estriol is produced by the liver and adrenal glands of the fetus. It forms in the placenta, therefore its level characterizes the functional state of the placenta and fetus. It dominates other estrogens after 12-15 weeks. Oxytocin intensifies contractions, is responsible for the production of milk. Placental lactogen - a direct indicator of the functioning of the placenta. Prolactin prepares mammary glands for breastfeeding ... You see, what a big company affects your emotions!
