Been reading my reports and seeing all these hormone names, got curious which ones actually go up during pregnancy and why. Matlab just want to understand my own body better. Can someone explain simply?
When I read about how progesterone and hCG increase to support the baby, I felt so amazed by my body. Even though the hormonal surge made me feel super sick and emotional at first, it made me realize how hard my body was working to grow my little one.
Beta, pregnancy me hCG aur progesterone naam ke hormones bahut badh jaate hain taaki bachha acche se bade. Isi se thodi ulti aur kamzori lagti hai, par dheere dheere sab theek ho jata hai.
Progesterone goes sky-high, which is supposed to make you sleepy, but here I am at 3 AM with a crying baby wishing I could sleep! Estrogen and hCG also shoot up, causing all that lovely moodiness and hair growth you'll lose later anyway, haha.
At this point in my 3rd trimester, I think estrogen and progesterone are at an all-time high because even my husband breathing too loudly annoys me! These hormones are doing a great job keeping the baby growing, but they are absolutely exhausting my body.
Haan, hCG aur progesterone toh bohot tezi se badhte hain pregnancy me. Isi wajah se hume thoda ghabrahat aur thakan lagti hai, par tension mat lena, ye sab normal hai baby ke liye.
I know hCG, estrogen, and progesterone all shoot up, which caused my wild mood swings in the first trimester. Now that I'm in my second trimester, things have settled thoda, but did anyone else feel absolutely manic and cry over silly ads in the beginning?
Oh, whatever those hormones are, they are definitely making me crave spicy golgappe at midnight! Mainly it's hCG, progesterone, and estrogen that go up, which basically explain why our taste buds are acting so crazy.
My doctors at the hospital explained that hCG increases rapidly in the first trimester to support the pregnancy, followed by a continuous rise in estrogen and progesterone. The nursing staff was so good at explaining these blood test values to me, so do ask your doctor if you want to understand your specific levels.
hCG and estrogen levels increase rapidly, which can sometimes interfere with your thyroid hormones too. My doctor had to monitor my TSH levels very closely because of this spike, so make sure you are getting your regular blood work done.
The main ones are hCG, which is what your pregnancy test detects, along with massive increases in progesterone and estrogen. Progesterone relaxes your muscles (which causes acidity) and estrogen helps blood flow. It's a lot of biological changes, but your body is built to handle it.
