Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong—and What You Really Need to Know
Transform Your Pregnancy Journey with Evidence-Based Wisdom
Tired of confusing pregnancy advice that leaves you more anxious than informed? Emily Oster's groundbreaking Expecting Better cuts through the noise with data-driven insights that empower expecting mothers to make informed decisions.
As an award-winning economist, Oster applied rigorous research methods to examine pregnancy myths and conventional wisdom. What she discovered will surprise you: many standard pregnancy recommendations lack solid scientific backing. From the real effects of that morning coffee to the truth about prenatal vitamins, exercise, and yes—even the occasional glass of wine—Oster separates fact from fear-mongering.
This audiobook summary is a capsule version of the book, capturing its most powerful ideas in just 10 minutes. The audio distills the core insights and essential lessons, cutting out the fluff and saving you hours of reading. If you've read the book before, it's a great way to revisit and reinforce what matters most.
Discover how to navigate pregnancy with confidence rather than anxiety. Learn why some "forbidden" activities might be safer than you think, while others pose unexpected risks. Oster's approach transforms pregnancy from a series of rigid rules into an informed decision-making process tailored to your individual circumstances.
This version gives you all the practical takeaways you need to start taking action right away. Whether you're newly pregnant or planning ahead, Expecting Better offers the evidence-based foundation every modern parent needs to make choices that feel right for their family—backed by actual science, not outdated assumptions.
