These are the hormones develop during pregnancy:  

  • Progesterone: High levels of progesterone prevent uterine contractions while the baby is still developing.  
  • Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and Cortisol: These hormones, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and cortisol, increase during the last few days and weeks of gestation. 
  • Oxytocin and Relaxin 
  • Adrenal Corticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)
