• B. Relaxin and progestogen
• C. Progestogen and human Chorionic gonadotropin
• D. Human Chorionic gonadotropin and relaxin

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Human Chorionic gonadotropin and relaxin

Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG)

• This hormone is made only during pregnancy.

• It is made almost exclusively in the placenta.

• HCG hormone levels found in the mother's blood and urine rise a lot during the first trimester.

• They may play a part in the nausea and vomiting often linked to pregnancy.
