Pregnancy hormones are those hormones that are produced only during the phase of the pregnancy.

Placenta acts as endocrine tissues and release hormones like Human Chorionic Gonadortropin (HCG), Human Placental Lactogen (HPL), eostrogens, progestogens etc...

Moreover, Ovary secretes a hormone in the later phase of the pregnancy called Relaxin
