What is the meaning of corpus luteum in early pregnancy

2018-07-30 09:51:53
Corpus Luteum maintains pregnancy, so I’ve been told by my mother. My friend is pregnant for the first time and is just 3 weeks into her pregnancy. I’m interested to know what is the meaning of corpus luteum in early pregnancy? What role does it play and how important it is? Can anyone guide me?
