I just picked up this book - Expecting Better by Emily Oster. She looks at all of the "rules" we are given as pregnant women - no lunch meat, no alcohol, whether to get induced, etc. and looks at the studies and statistics to help you make a decision that works for you. So far, it's been really good.

    Yes! I haven't read her book but read her Wall Street Journal article and just listened to the NPR Planet Money podcast featuring the book. I think I'm in love with her for shedding some light on the topic. I'm hoping my library gets th book soon. (At 25 weeks pregnant I've already broken many of 'the rules' but am looking forward to reading the book regardless.)

    Sounds interesting! May be something I have to pick up - although, I'm 30 weeks now and also don't abide by all the 'rules' per se ;) But I'm sure it would still be an interesting read!
