"It took someone as smart as Emily Oster to make it all this simple. She cuts through the thicket of anxiety and received wisdom, and gives us the facts. Expecting Better is both enlightening and calming. It almost makes me want to get pregnant."——Pamela Druckerman,紐約時報暢銷書《為什麼法國媽媽可以優雅喝咖啡,孩子不哭鬧?》、《Bebe Day By Day》(本書中繁版權已賣出)作者
"This is a fascinating—and reassuring—look at the most important numbers of your pregnancy. It will make parents-to-be rethink much of the conventional wisdom: think bed rest is a good idea? Think again. This may be the most important book about pregnancy you read."——Steven D. Levitt,紐約時報暢銷書《蘋果橘子經濟學》共同作者
"Expecting Better is a fascinating and reassuring tour of pregnancy and childbirth, with data leading the way at every juncture. From start to finish, Oster easily leads us through the key findings of the extant pregnancy-related research. My only regret is that my wife and I had three children without the benefit of this insightful approach."——Charles Wheelan,紐約時報暢銷書《聰明學經濟的12堂課》(Naked Economics)、《非典型人生建言》(10½ Things No Commencement Speaker Has Ever Said)作者
"The only antidote to pregnancy anxiety is facts, and Emily Oster has them in spades. Disarmingly personal and easy to read, this book is guaranteed to cut your freaking out in half. Pregnancy studies has a new heroine. Every pregnant woman will cheer this book—and want to take Oster out for a shot of espresso."——Rachel Simmons,紐約時報暢銷書《CURSE OF THE GOOD GIRL》、《怪女孩出列》(Odd Girls Out)
