Detailed explanation-1: -Upon pregnancy the combined actions of progesterone and prolactin generate alveoli, which secrete milk during lactation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Progesterone is produced in early pregnancy to support your baby until the placenta takes over. Progesterone causes an increase in blood flow to the womb. It might also be the one responsible for that pesky heartburn as well as vomiting, reflux, gas and constipation (Society for Endocrinology, 2018).
Detailed explanation-3: -Prolactin hormone is responsible for stimulating the growth of mammary glands and milk formation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Progesterone. This hormone is made by the ovaries and by the placenta during pregnancy. It stimulates the thickening of the uterine lining for implantation of a fertilized egg.
Detailed explanation-5: -Growth and development of the mammary tissues begins at around weeks three and four of gestation, with specific ductal branching and lobular formation. Proliferation of the distal portions of the ducts results in the formation of multiple alveoli (which contain lactocytes – cells that secrete milk).
