Column I	Column II
1. hCG	d) Maintains corpus luteum
2. Relaxin	c) Softens pelvic ligaments
3. hPL	b) Stimulates mammary growth
4. Oxytocin	a) Induces uterine contractions

hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin): Maintains the corpus luteum during early pregnancy so it continues producing progesterone.

Relaxin: Loosens and softens pelvic ligaments and cervix in preparation for childbirth.

hPL (human placental lactogen): Helps in mammary gland development and modulates maternal metabolism to support fetal growth.

Oxytocin: Triggers uterine contractions during labor and also helps in milk ejection during breastfeeding.
