### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best pregnancy book
*by K***S on 12 May 2019*

I am a maternal and child health researcher with a PhD in public health. This book guided me through my pregnancy and is the only pregnancy book I recommend to my friends. The author synthesizes the current state of research on all the major pregnancy and childbirth health-related topics and presents the evidence, leaving the reader to make decisions. Most pregnancy books give advice based on little more than the whims of authors and doctors (who are fallible like everyone else!), rather than actual research. Many books also take a somewhat paternalistic or infantilizing tone (I'm looking at you, What To Expect -- the worst pregnancy book ever). Expecting Better is readable, clear, and intelligent. I hope you read it. And good luck with your pregnancy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book if you like and know maths
*by C***I on 22 February 2016*

A very very interesting book if you're a geek (I am). And a great go-to if you need information quickly, but reads like a fast-paced, chatty systematic review. Liked it for the most part but I would only recommend it for the numbers-oriented people out there. There is no interpretation offered (in all fairness the book does not claim it does), but if information is comforting and you can't calculate probabilities, this is probably not for you.Does not reflect on the possible effect of race - much research is done on white women while I am not.

### ⭐ Irresponsible and Dangerous Advice
*by S***A on 28 July 2024*

As an expectant mother, I found this book deeply concerning. Despite the author's use of studies to support her stance on alcohol consumption during pregnancy, it is irresponsible to promote such advice. The risk of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders is well-documented, and no amount of evidence can justify endangering a newborn child. Pregnancy requires the utmost responsibility, and if someone has an addiction, it is better to address it before deciding to become a mother. I urge pregnant women to seek reliable sources and avoid this book.
