Using Data To Better Understand Pregnancy


Listen Later

Economist Emily Oster became a big name in pregnancy advice 10 years ago with her book "Expecting Better: Why The Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong – And What You Really Need To Know."

Her latest book is called "The Unexpected: Navigating Pregnancy During And After Complications."

She co-wrote it with Maternal Fetal Medicine Dr. Nathan Fox.

We talk about some of those complications and how patients can get better care from their doctors.
