    According to a study conducted by Whitcome, et al., lumbar lordosis can increase from an angle of 32 degrees at 0% fetal mass (i.e. non-pregnant women or very early in pregnancy) to 50 degrees at 100% fetal mass (very late in pregnancy). Postpartum, the angle of the lordosis declines and can reach the angle prior to pregnancy.

    Many nonhuman studies can be used as both potential models for humans and to show the phylogenetic conservation of some endocrine signals. [1] Estrogen and progesterone released by ovaries during pregnancy make oxytocin receptors more sensitive in female rats [8] and is associated with the onset of maternal behaviors in other species as well.
