Trafodwyd y llenyddiaeth lleol ac yn rhyngwladol gan gynnwys sut ymgymerodd yr ymchwil yn y maes clinigol ar heriau sydd yno. Mae canlyniadau eto i ddod ond mae ystod o sgwrs am yr effaith cadarnhaol, fel boddhad bydwragedd, effaith ar ferched ar y pryd ac yn hir dymor a potensial i weithredu newid yn y maes, yn Nghymru ac yn rhyngwladol. Mae trosolwg ar y cwrs ai ofynion, ac trafodaeth sydd yn plethu lles, iaith a diwylliant, trwy gyfnod arwyddocaol merch. P'un a ydych chi'n weithiwr gofal iechyd proffesiynol, yn rhiant beichiog, neu'n â diddordeb mewn iaith a diwylliant, mae'r sgwrs hon yn rhoi cipolwg gwerthfawr ar rôl iaith frodorol wrth greu profiadau geni cadarnhaol.
