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

5.0

A must-read for every pregnant person, people who would like to someday become pregnant, and partners of pregnant people. We are faced with so many decisions, and Emily Oster approaches many of these decisions with an evidence-baased approach that is couched in the understanding that every family/person is going to have their own context/preference through which to view the evidence and make the decisions. There are a lot more grey areas than folks realize when it comes to baby-related decisions, but being armed with data helps in that discernment. I feel much more empowered in my decision-making with this pregnancy and look forward to taking what I've learned into future pregnancies!
