Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong--and What You Really Need to Know
what parents are saying
Unnecessary. While very interesting if you’re a stats or numbers person, it breaks down risks during pregnancy (caffeine, alcohol etc.) It is more important to read about care after the baby is born. (Oct 10, 2022)

This book opened by eyes to the information regarding all of my major concerns regarding pregnancy, divided up by trimester. Great discussion on foods to avoid and pain management in labor. Oct 11, 2019

Emily is a trained economist, so looks at the data being many of the "myths" about what to do/not do while pregnant. It certainly eased my mind to understand the data and to make good choices during my pregnancy. Nov 29, 2017
