What happens when you try to become pregnant? | Sally Schulze | TEDxFrankfurt

Sex is everywhere, but our knowledge about fertility is shockingly little and flawed. Becoming pregnant is not easy for everyone. Having children or not is a life changing decision. Sally's talk will explore this taboo subject and illustrate how sex education needs an update. Sally grew up in an inconspicuous suburban neighborhood with parents who had greater plans for her. However, these were not reflected in visions of grandeur. She was raised with a natural understanding of equal rights between her parents and of men and women in general. Her first touchpoint with women’s mental health was in her host family during a high school year abroad. The family had lost a baby some years before. Later Sally’s mother got ovarian cancer and like 90 percent of the patients she died within 5 years. One year later it seemed like a coincidence when Sally became a supporting psychologist for the neonatal intensive care unit and risk-pregnancy ward. She unfolded her passion for pragmatic psychological support and developed ideas for tele-psychological care. Sally strives to change the health care system towards more patient empowerment. Her goal is to give women more self-determination and to overcome disadvantages that are still reality today for too many women. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Super spannendes Thema und tatsächlich auch etwas, über das ich mich als junge Frau nicht gut genug informiert fühle. Super dass Du darüber sprichst!

Thank you for all this information, I have been blaming myself for miscarriages due to stress and negative thoughts for the last three years.

Super spannend! - und auch ein Thema bei dem ich mich noch lange nicht gut informiert fühle. Erlebe als junge Frau grade selbst, wie der Druck, bloß nicht schwanger werden zu dürfen, plötzlich in den Druck umschlägt, unbedingt schwanger werden zu müssen.

There's always adoption when unable to conceive. Plenty of children who need a home.
