What hormones are higher during pregnancy?

Question

I'm in my first trimester and feeling a lot of changes in my body. My doctor said it's all due to hormones. Can anyone tell me which hormones are generally higher during pregnancy?

Basically, during pregnancy, hCG is the first one that shoots up, that's what pregnancy tests detect. Then progesterone and estrogen are consistently high throughout to support the baby and uterus. These are the main ones.

Mainly hCG, estrogen, and progesterone rise a lot. But honestly, it's best to discuss this with your gynaecologist. They can explain how these specific hormones are impacting *your* body, especially if you have any concerns or feel unwell.

Yeah, hCG, progesterone, estrogen are key. These hormones cause a lot of changes in the body, so it's good to stay active if your doc approves. Even light walks can help manage mood swings related to hormones.

From what I quickly remember, hCG, progesterone, and estrogen are significantly elevated. Don't stress too much about the specifics unless your doctor raises a concern. Just focus on what your gynaec tells you.
