Which hormones go into overdrive during pregnancy?

There are several hormonal changes that happen during pregnancy. Here are some of the big ones:• Estrogen rises, helping your uterus grow, increasing blood flow to your mucous membranes, and trigger­ing breast growth and tenderness. • Progesterone increases so that your uterus and breasts expand.

It also triggers release of the hor­mone relaxin, which affects smooth muscle and cartilage. This readies your body for delivery, but can also result in achy joints, acne, and indigestion, heartburn, and other gastrointestinal woes. • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) skyrockets in the first few months of pregnancy.

Found in your blood and urine, it’s the reason why you can pee on a stick to find out if you’re pregnant. It’s also re­sponsible for morning sickness, which eases as hCG decreases in the second trimester. • Thyroid hormones rise, which can make you sweat more, make your heart beat faster, and trigger mood swings.

• Oxytocin helps your muscles contract during deliv­ery (it’s found in the labor-inducing drug Pitocin) and helps stimulate breast milk. Also known as the “cuddle hormone,” oxytocin plays an important role in sex and relationships. This potent cocktail of hormones triggers a slew of physical changes, from a bigger abdomen and tender breasts to nausea and fatigue.

If you’ve talked to your physician and friends or read pregnancy books and websites, you have a good idea of what to expect.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
