Meet today's woman. She is capable, opinionated, informed. On any given day, you might find her graduating from university or running a major company. But there's a good chance that at some point in her life this same amazing woman will be terrified by a cup of coffee, baffled by a tuna sandwich and exhausted from sleeping in contorted positions. Pregnancy - unquestionably one of the most profound, meaningful experiences of adulthood - reduces otherwise intelligent, successful women to patients who are treated like they themselves are babies. This book is a much-needed clarion call, to educate and inspire women everywhere to make informed and confident choices, for their babies and themselves.

Review of 'Expecting better' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was fine. The best (as in most informative) sections were on caffeine and alcohol, which weren't particularly helpful to me because I don't drink much anyway and I usually max out at 1 cup of coffee.

The most helpful sections (for me) were on epidurals and birth plans, and I'm glad I have a resource (with medical references) I can present to my OB. Wish both of those sections had been more fleshed out.
