Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong - and What You Really Need to Know by Emily Oster

3.0

I liked the approach that the author took with this book (I am naturally a questioner so I could relate to this about her) and found many of her conclusions interesting and a few helpful for my pregnancy and lifestyle. However, I have done so much research on my own about pregnancy that much of the information did not feel new to me. Also, the information that I would personally most be interested in getting to the bottom of, being a high-risk pregnancy and on "experimental" medications, was not included in this book. But I would recommend this book for the typical pregnant woman.
