Reviews - Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong--And What You Really Need to Know

Lots of REALLY REALLY good information on the duration of pregnancy. She explained everything really well, and was able to weigh the pros and cons without bias. 5/5 for the informational text!

Provides clear, evidenced based advice on pregnancy in an engaging and easy to understand format. Despite the research backed approach, there was a fair amount of editorializing on the part of the author, which I didn't mind but I enjoyed Oster's writing style and personal insight. Your milage may vary there.
My main critique is that I felt like the book lacked depth. Oster covers the majority of the main concerns a first time mother might have, but I felt like I was still left with questions and wanted to do more research. While this isn't meant to be a fully comprehensive book about pregnancy, the plus side is that it's a quick and reassuring read. I'd definitely suggest it for people who are pregnant for the first time.
