We're told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee, but aren't told why. Rules for prenatal testing are hard and fast--and unexplained. Are all of these recommendations right for every mom-to-be? Here, the author shows that pregnancy rules are often misguided and sometimes flat-out wrong. Pregnant women face an endless stream of decisions, from the casual to the frightening. Expecting Better presents the hard facts and real-world advice you won't get at the doctor's office or in the existing literature."}, "local_id": ["urn:sfpl:31223103850153", "urn:sfpl:31223103851011", "urn:sfpl:31223103850138", "urn:sfpl:31223103850120", "urn:sfpl:31223103850088", "urn:sfpl:31223103850112", "urn:sfpl:31223103851037", "urn:sfpl:31223103851029", "urn:sfpl:31223103850104", "urn:sfpl:31223103850096"], "lc_classifications": ["RG525 .O87 2013"], "key": "/books/OL27149232M", "authors": [{"key": "/authors/OL5123986A"}], "subtitle": "how to fight the pregnancy establishment with facts", "subjects": ["Pregnancy", "Health aspects", "Health and hygiene", "Prenatal care", "Pregnant women"], "isbn_13": ["9781594204753"], "pagination": "xxii, 313 pages", "source_records": ["marc:marc_openlibraries_sanfranciscopubliclibrary/sfpl_chq_2018_12_24_run04.mrc:356782693:5250", "marc:marc_loc_2016/BooksAll.2016.part39.utf8:220364064:887", "ia:expectingbetterw0000oste_e2j6", "bwb:9781594204753", "marc:harvard_bibliographic_metadata/ab.bib.13.20150123.full.mrc:863977546:2616", "marc:harvard_bibliographic_metadata/20220215_030.bib.mrc:234485416:3672"], "title": "Expecting better", "dewey_decimal_class": ["618.2"], "notes": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "Includes bibliographical references (pages 282-302) and index."}, "number_of_pages": 313, "languages": [{"key": "/languages/eng"}], "lccn": ["2012039780"], "isbn_10": ["1594204756"], "publish_date": "2013", "publish_country": "nyu", "by_statement": "Emily Oster", "oclc_numbers": ["865019287", "819640545", "856526151"], "works": [{"key": "/works/OL19969030W"}], "type": {"key": "/type/edition"}, "covers": [12482477], "ocaid": "expectingbetterw0000oste_e2j6", "publishers": ["The Penguin Press"], "latest_revision": 6, "revision": 6, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2019-07-18T03:58:01.338876"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-02-05T12:39:00.266181"}}
