• A great book for a woman who wants to make educated decisions on the risks during pregnancy. Now you finally have answers as to why we 'can't' eat sushi or shouldn't drink coffee. It felt so good being able to make an educated decision thanks to Emily's straightforward, easy to digest, approach to statistical data. Jun 04, 2014
