Legacy Audiobooks
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Navigating pregnancy can feel like trying to follow a map where every road is marked "danger." You're handed a long list of rigid, contradictory rules from doctors, family, and strangers. But what does the actual data say?
In Expecting Better, economist Emily Oster trades fear and folklore for facts. She analyzes hundreds of medical studies to debunk the myths surrounding everything from caffeine and alcohol to bed rest and epidurals. This isn't about telling you what to do; it's about giving you the real numbers so you can make informed decisions that are right for you, your health, and your family. It’s a revolutionary guide to a more relaxed and rational pregnancy.
Discover how to grasp the core insights in just 15 minutes. This audio distills the essential lessons from the original book, cutting out the fluff and saving you hours. Learn to evaluate risks, understand the evidence behind common recommendations, and reclaim your decision-making power. If you’ve read the book before, it’s a great way to reinforce what matters most.
