EXPECTING BETTER: WHY THE CONVENTIONAL PREGNANCY WISDOM IS WRONG AND WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW

        By Emily Oster. New York: Penguin Books, 2014.


A book that looks at what the public is told logically, for a change.


The author discusses different pieces of advice given to pregnant women by the medical community and amplified by the media, using logic and statistics to examine whether such advice is sound.


Though I do not agree with her conclusions about homebirth, every other topic in the book resonated with me as far as seeming logical the way it was put.
