Pregnancy is full of rules. Pregnant women are often treated as if they were children, given long lists of items to avoid--alcohol, caffeine, sushi--without any real explanation from their doctors about why. They hear frightening and contradictory myths from friends and pregnancy books about everything from weight gain to sleeping on your back to bed rest. Economist Emily Oster believes there is a better way. In Expecting Better, she shows that the information given to pregnant women is sometimes wrong and almost always oversimplified, and she debunks a host of standard recommendations on everything from drinking to fetal testing.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
OMGmazing! submitted by CGBeautiful on August 8, 2014, 4:12pm The author looks into all of the common wisdom that we know about do's and don't's of pregnancy, and actually gives the information from the studies, and then she explains it in simple terms. It's so amazing and refreshing.
