My report showed prolactin on the higher side and now im a little tense. Doc hasnt explained much yet, appointment is next week. Is it normal for it to go up when ur pregnant? thoda worried.
Yes, it does go up naturally because your body is preparing for breastfeeding. I asked my senior consultant at Apollo just to be sure, and they said it's totally normal but they monitor it in blood tests.
Yes, prolactin levels rise significantly throughout pregnancy to prepare for lactation. However, if you are looking at specific lab results, only your gynecologist can tell if your levels are in the healthy range.
It definitely increases during pregnancy, but since prolactin and thyroid are quite connected, make sure you get your regular blood tests done as advised by your doctor.
With my PCOS, I was always worried about hormone levels. Prolactin does rise to help with milk production, but it's best to let your doctor interpret your lab reports rather than worrying online.
Yes babe, it naturally goes up to prepare your breasts for feeding the baby later! Don't stress too much about these hormonal terms unless your doc says something is off.
