ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Expecting Better” by Emily Oster challenges traditional pregnancy advice by using data and scientific research to provide a clearer understanding of pregnancy. Drawing on her background as an economist, Oster critically examines common medical recommendations, debunking myths around topics like caffeine, alcohol, weight gain, and prenatal testing. She emphasizes the importance of making informed decisions based on evidence rather than fear or conventional wisdom. With a data-driven approach, Oster encourages women to weigh the risks and benefits of their choices, offering a refreshing perspective on navigating pregnancy health with confidence and clarity.
