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'

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.
