The uterus has many ligaments holding it in place. The broad ligaments attach the uterus to the pelvic cavity, the uterosacral ligaments hold the uterus in place inferiorly via connection to the sacrum. Lastly, the cardinal ligaments and the round ligaments provide additional support around the cervix and vagina. Also, the vagina is connected to the organs around it via connective tissue, such as the bladder and rectum.

Together, these steroids are crucial for a successful pregnancy.


How the level of a hormone which prevents menstruation remains high during pregnancy even after the corpus luteum has broken down?

Progesterone is the hormone that prevents menstruation and maintain pregnancy. It is initially produced by the corpus luteum. After the corpus luteum has broken down, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone from the 8th week of pregnancy until birth.
