While most people don't like to blame their hormones for every mood swing or cramp, truth is that the potent brand of hormones running through your body is at fault for the good moments and the bad.
Estrogen and proestrogen are first secreted by a cyst on the ovaries called the “corpus luteum”. The corpus luteum will continue to produce these hormones until about 10 weeks in of the pregnancy. After 10 weeks, the placenta will take over estrogen and proestrogen production.
Proestrogen is important in both the mother's and the baby's health. Production of proestrogen causes smooth muscles to relax (the uterus) and enhances the mother's immune system to protect her from foreign DNA (the fetus). However, proestrogen …show more content…
Estrogen is mainly produced through the first trimester and will eventually hit its peak. Estrogen stimulates the growth hormones in your baby's adreanal gland.

In recent studies, it shows that mother's with a higher amount of HCG will experience more and worse episodes of morning sickness.
Oxytocin
Oxytocin is a hormone that many believe to induce labor. However, studies show that bodies become more sensitive to oxytocin as women go into labor. Oxytocin is used by the body to stretch the uterus to fit a growing baby and is also used as one of the hormones to trigger milk production.
Prolactin
Prolactin is used by the body, in addiction to oxytocin, is used for the production of milk in the breasts. Especially for first-time mothers, the body is very unprepared for milk to be released from the breasts. Prolactin prepares the breast tissues so that milk can be released.
Relaxtin
You'll be glad you had this hormone when you go to give birth. Relaxtin is important for child delivery as it loosens and relaxes ligaments. During childbirth that means relaxtin loosens the uterine muscles and the ligaments holding the pelvic bone together to make for an easier birth.
