Hormones like prolactin and oxytocin that facilitate lactation and uterine contractions during pregnancy.

Hormones such as estrogen and progesterone that help maintain pregnancy by enlarging reproductive organs and relaxing muscles.

Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters: 1st (0-13wks), 2nd (14-27wks), and 3rd (28-40wks).
