Diffusion through Placenta
• The fetal hemoglobin can carry 20 to 50 percent more oxygen than can maternal hemoglobin.
• The hemoglobin concentration of fetal blood is about 50 percent greater than that of the mother.
• The Bohr effect, provides another mechanism to enhance the transport of oxygen by fetal blood.

Diffusion through Placenta
• Glucose moves via facilitated diffusion through the trophoblast cells lining the placental villi
• Fatty acids diffuse from the maternal blood into the fetal blood, but more slowly than glucose
• Substances as ketone bodies and potassium, sodium, and chloride ions diffuse

HCG
• Its prime function is to maintain pregnancy
• It keeps stimulating Corpus luteum to produce sex hormones
• It stimulated the testes to secrete testosterone in male fetus
• It protects the fetus from maternal immune responses
• The corpus luteum involutes slowly after the 13th to 17th week of gestation.

Estrogen• Androgens are converted by the trophoblast cells into estradiol, estrone, and
estriol.
• Enlargement of the mother’s uterus
• Enlargement of the mother’s breasts and growth of the breast ductal structure
• Enlargement of the mother’s female external genitalia.
• Relaxation of the pelvic ligaments of the mother, so the sacroiliac joints become relatively limber and the symphysis pubis becomes elastic.
• It is believed that estrogens also affect many general aspects of fetal development
• for example, by affecting the rate of cell reproduction in the early embryo.

Progesterone
• Decidual cells to develop in the uterine endometrium.
• Decreases the contractility of the pregnant uterus, thus preventing uterine contractions from causing spontaneous abortion.
• Contributes to the development of the conceptus even before implantation
• It affects cell cleavage in the early developing embryo.
• Helps estrogen prepare the mother’s breasts for lactation.

Human Chorionic Somatomammotropin
• Peptide hormone
• Believed to cause development of breasts for lactation
• It also has functions similar to that of GH and causes protein synthesis
• Causes decreased insulin sensitivity and decreased utilization of glucose in the mother, thereby making larger quantities of glucose available to the fetus.
• Promotes the release of free fatty acids from the fat stores of the mother, thus providing this alternative source of energy for the mother’s metabolism during pregnancy.

Other hormones• Pituitary Secretion. The anterior pituitary gland of the mother enlarges at
least 50 percent during pregnancy and increases its production of corticotropin, thyrotropin, and prolactin. FSH and LH are inhibited.
• Increased Corticosteroid Secretion. The rate of adrenocortical secretion of the glucocorticoids is moderately increased throughout pregnancy. Pregnant women usually have about a twofold increase in aldosterone secretion, reaching a peak at the end of gestation. pregnancy-induced hypertension.

• Increased Thyroid Gland Secretion. The mother’s thyroid gland ordinarily enlarges up to 50 percent during pregnancy and increases its production of thyroxine a corresponding amount.
• Increased Parathyroid Gland Secretion. Enlargement of these glands causes calcium absorption from the mother’s bones

Other hormone along with Prolactin
• This secretion of milk requires an adequate background secretion of most of the mother’s other hormones as well,
• but most important are
• growth hormone,
• cortisol,
• parathyroid hormone,
• insulin.
