Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Many men experience physical symptoms and may begin to gain weight along with their partner. As a woman's abdomen begins to grow, the partner may perceive himself as growing larger too, as if he were the one who was experiencing changing boundaries the same as his partner. This indicates emotional involvement in the pregnancy. Stating a specific sex for the baby, losing free time, and refusing to paint the baby's room blue are not indications that the spouse is emotionally involved in the pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Estriol, relaxin, progestin, and human chorionic somatomammotropin are secreted by the placenta. Prolactin is secreted after delivery for breast-feeding.
