Publisher's Summary

No time to read? Get the main key ideas from this summary of Emily Oster’s Expecting Better in just a short listen.

Pregnancy, without a doubt one of adulthood's most profound and meaningful experiences, can reduce perfectly competent women to, well, babies.

In Expecting Better (2013), award-winning economist Emily Oster applies scientific rigor to conventional pregnancy advice. Her goal is to empower pregnant women by providing concrete numbers and hard facts from trustworthy research.

Pregnancy, like any complicated endeavor, is not a one-size-fits-all affair. Despite this, medicine frequently treats it as such. Are doctors making decisions based on inaccurate information? Are well-intentioned friends and family members spreading false information and instilling unfounded fears? Oster's answer is often yes.

Any expecting mother will be less worried and better able to enjoy a healthy pregnancy if she is well-informed.
