Progesterone can make you excessively tired during pregnancy, and your cat might wonder why you’re napping on the couch so often instead of running errands.Fast-rising hCG levels can contribute to nausea, and if you’re spending every morning puking in the bathroom instead of feeding your cat at the normal time, they’re going to notice.(They’re creatures of habit, after all - just like us.) Those emotional changes will affect your behavior, and your cat is pretty likely to pick up on the fact that you’re acting differently. Your hormones aren’t the only things changing during pregnancy: You’re moody, fatigued, constantly queasy, and way irritable. But if those odors do exist, a cat’s nose could - in theory - detect them. That doesn’t mean they can detect any hypothetical odors brought on by pregnancy hormones. For sure, cats have superpowered olfactory senses: According to PAWS Chicago, cats have about 200 million smell receptors in their nose as opposed to our measly 5 million. There’s no evidence that pregnancy hormones make you emit any kind of odor, but we do know that other body substances - like pheromones and the hormones that surge during puberty - can release subtle (and not-so-subtle) smells, so it’s possible.īut can cats detect these odors? Well, we don’t know that, either.
During pregnancy, estrogen makes a lot of the magic happen: It regulates other hormones, helps your baby develop, regulates blood flow, and causes your milk ducts to form. This hormone primes your uterus before pregnancy and helps maintain a healthy pregnancy after fertilization. Though both of these are important for labor and delivery, they start increasing in early pregnancy. Prolactin helps you produce breast milk and relaxin affects your uterine muscles and pelvic joints. Because your levels are so high in early pregnancy, hCG is used to confirm pregnancy in urine and blood tests. This hormone is produced in the cells of the placenta.

They basically make pregnancy possible, sustain it for 9 months, and then (probably) trigger labor in a series of still-mysterious changes that lead to your baby’s birth.Īn increase in hormones during pregnancy is also responsible for the majority of your symptoms, like morning sickness, fatigue, pelvic pain, and food cravings.
