Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book was amazing. It was factual, it had a TON of national/international research studies to better help you (or whomever is pregnant) make an informed decision about what to eat, drink, which meds are okay, labor, and delivery. I literally can not understand how this book has 1 star reviews...Like, what? You don't like evidence based research? It just astound me. I've cross referenced Oster's sources and found them to, in fact, be incredibly legitimate. In the unknown world of pregnancy, Oster attempts to gather numbers/percentages/ figures and studies to give the reader OPTIONS. She is not saying, yeah--go drink a bottle of wine (like many naysayers accuse her of doing). She presents the evidence and lets the reader decide whichever approach is best for them. It's not pushy or biased at all, it simply allows the reader to see the science behind "no deli meats while knocked up..." Seriously, read this book. I am so thankful I did.
