What to Expect When You're Expecting meets Freakonomics: an award-winning economist disproves standard recommendations about pregnancy to empower women while they're 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.

When award-winning economist Emily Oster was a mom-to-be herself, she evaluated the data behind the accepted rules of pregnancy and discovered that most are often misguided and some are just flat-out wrong. Debunking myths and explaining everything from the real effects of caffeine to the surprising dangers of gardening, Expecting Better is the book for every pregnant woman who wants to enjoy a healthy and relaxed pregnancy.

A leitura perfeita para qualquer grávida

Patricia M

O livro é uma leitura perfeita para qualquer grávida, abordando as várias regras e dúvidas que assolam a gravidez (posso beber café? posso comer sushi? posso beber alcoól?). De forma muito objectiva, a autora (economista de profissão), analisa dados dos estudos mais fiáveis com o intuito de nos trazer dados concretos sobre essas e tantas outras perguntas que perseguem as grávidas ao longo da gravidez. A perspectiva que se pretende não é a de dar indicações concretas sobre o que as grávidas devem ou não fazer, mas sim, dotar as grávidas de informações concretas e reais.
