Expectant parents get almost as many unsolicited book recommendations as they do pieces of advice from their friends, family ... and strangers on the street.
This recommendation comes every bit as unsolicited of course but I cannot help but think it should be prescribed by every doctor in the world after the first positive pregnancy test (even before in fact).
Oster is an economist and she has made it her mission to analyse the best data out there to help women make good decisions about their pregnancies (and by extension their partners too). If the long list of pregnancy prohibitions has ever seemed strange to you, this book will help you to differentiate between the very real dangers of some substances on your baby and the foods and drinks that really aren't that dangerous at all.
Oster's explicit goal is to help people make good evidence-based decisions so the book doesn't judge those who prefer ultra caution but it does help put the choice back into pregnant women's lives.
