Answer

Rapid release of luteinising hormone ruptures Graafian follicle and release ovum (ovulation).
Corpus luteum secretes large amount of progesterone hormone that is essential for maintenance of the endometrium required for implantation of blastocyst leading to pregnancy.
Placenta produces several hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL). Relaxin is also produced during later phase of pregnancy. Level of other hormones like estrogens, progestogens, cortisol, prolactin and thyroxine also increases which is essential for supporting fetal growth, metabolic changes in mother and maintenance of pregnancy.
Parturition signals originate from the fully developed foetus and the placenta induce mild uterine contractions which triggers release of oxytocin from pituitary. Oxytocin acts on the uterine muscle causing stronger uterine contractions.
