Myths and facts in gynaecology and obstetrics

"Don't stress yourself - then you're sure to get pregnant soon" - most people affected by an unfulfilled desire to have children will have heard these or similar statements many times. Those affected also often receive advice from those around them, which may be well-intentioned but is often not very helpful.

As there are still many myths, prejudices and false advice circulating in the field of gynaecology and obstetrics, we would like to use short videos to provide those affected and those around them with scientifically sound information. We want to convey psychological knowledge briefly and concisely in order to empower those affected and those around them.
