Health & Fitness:Medicine
There are many fertility misconceptions, but when you’re trying to conceive, it is tough to tell the truth from the myths.
What really will help you get pregnant?
Stay pregnant?
And have a healthy baby?
Your friends can be convinced that certain positions helped them. Instagram can make you feel you are to blame for your miscarriage.
In this episode, first shared on Lisa Schuman’s podcast, Building Your Family, Dr. Lora Shahine and host Lisa debunk some common fertility myths.
You’ll finish this valuable episode knowing not only more about 5 common fertility assumptions but the why and rationale about why people can get so confused.
Host Lisa Schuman is an award-winning researcher, therapist, author, and expert in donor conception, surrogacy and fertility treatment. Her organization, The Center for Family Building, is dedicated to helping people have an easier journey to becoming parents.
