Cribsheet & Expecting Better 2 Books Collection Set By Emily


With Expecting Better, award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet, she now tackles an even greater decision-making in the early years of parenting.

Expecting
Pregnancy—unquestionably one of the most pro­found, meaningful experiences of adulthood—can reduce otherwise intelligent women to, well, babies. Pregnant women are told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee without ever being told why these are forbidden. Rules for prenatal testing are similarly unexplained. Moms-to-be desperately want a resource that empowers them to make their own right choices.

Reviews

[Kathleen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book—it was very informative. I found it very easy to read and follow along with. I appreciated Emily sharing her personal stories about being pregnant and giving birth. It opened my eyes to the many different options I have to chose from, and I also learned that it’s not a “one size fits all approach.” The book also debunked a lot of “normal” doctor recommendations and it was backed by data. Overall, I definitely recommend this book for people who are expecting!

I really enjoyed both of these reads. The focus on information from good data sets and the author not telling you what to do but just what the data says was very helpful for me! It was important to have the information so we can make the best choice for our family.

[Lauren Bridgewater Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

Highly recommend this book to all expecting mothers, regardless of if it’s your first or not. Gives statistics on what is necessary and what is not during pregnancy and birth. Written by an economist who experienced pregnancy herself and did the research for her own benefit.

[Donna Weeldreyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to this as an audiobook. I was recommended to read this prior to getting pregnant. I’m so glad I did. It is full of wonderful information and I know that when the day does come I have the information I need ready.

[Dayna Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

Data driven books navigating through pregnancy and early childhood on methods that are proven to work. Risks vs. benefits to weigh for each individual family.
