informative medium-paced

4.5

This was the first pregnancy book I read on many recommendations, and I found it quite informative and well-balanced - for the most part, Oster isn't pushing you to do anything, she's just telling you, using her own pregnancy as the frame, what the facts she's learned are and what she decided to do based on that. I found it an easy read, not fear-mongering, and a good place to start forming my own opinions. Notably, I am a fairly low-anxiety/risk-accepting person and not super into natural for the sake of natural (though no judgement!) - if you aren't those things, this might be less for you?
