How does prolactin affect me during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the placenta secretes a chemical called prolactin, which attaches to dopamine receptors on brain cells. Prolactin seems to turn on addicting elements in the brain, thus making you, for example, want to eat more food. But it also seems to have a protective element as well; it's likely the chemical that helps you tolerate dramatic body changes and not have as much anxiety over them as you would under different circumstances.

Prolactin stimulates your endorphin system so you feel less pain and feel more able to ignore minor anxieties. This is part of the process of learning to revel in the miracle of pregnancy and to appreciate both the sexiness and saintliness that comes along with it.

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.
