怀孕——毫无疑问是成年后最深刻、最有意义的经历之一——却能让平时聪慧的女性沦落得像个婴儿一样任人摆布。我们被告知要远离 cold cuts、sushi、酒精和咖啡，却从未被告知原因。产前检查的规定严苛而死板，且缺乏合理解释。这些建议对每位准妈妈都适用吗？在本书中，作者指出许多孕期准则往往带有误导性，有时甚至是彻底错误的。孕妇面临着接连不断的抉择，有些无足轻重，有些则令人惶恐。Expecting Better 呈现了确凿的事实与切合实际的建议，让你……

经济学家 Emily Oster 在她的书《好孕大数据》（Expecting Better）中，驳斥了母乳喂养倡导者（以及许多儿科医生）提出的一些站不住脚的论据。
The economist Emily Oster debunks some of the more dubious claims of breastfeeding advocates (and many pediatricians) in her book _Expecting Better_.
研究往往摆在那儿，但一线医生并不去读或者没读懂。我觉得《好孕大数据》（Expecting Better）[1] 这本书对现有研究的分析方法非常出色。[1]http://www.amazon.com/Expecting-Better-Conventional-Pregnanc...
The research is often there, but not read or understood by the practicing doctors. I found the book “Expecting Better”[1] to have a great analytical approach to the existing research. [1]http://www.amazon.com/Expecting-Better-Conventional-Pregnanc...
稍微有点跑题，但 HN 上刚当上父母或准备要孩子的人可能会喜欢 Emily Oster 的《好孕大数据》（Expecting Better），这本书用经济学家的挑剔眼光来审视有关孕期的各种建议和研究。有点像《魔鬼经济学》（Freakonomics）的风格。
Sightly offtopic, but recent or prospective parents on HN may appreciate the book "Expecting Better" by Emily Oster, which takes a critical economists eye to advice and studies about pregnancy. Sort of in the vein of Freakonomics.
很惊讶他们居然没提经济学家 Emily Oster 的书《好孕大数据》（Expecting Better），虽然这本书并不完美，但它采用了一种数据驱动的、《魔鬼经济学》式的视角来探讨怀孕。读起来很过瘾。真正的挑战在于一开始就几乎没什么优质的数据。
Surprised they don't mention economist Emily Oster's book Expecting Better, which is an imperfect book but takes a data-driven Freakonomics-style approach to pregnancy. I enjoyed it. The real challenge is that there's so little good data to begin with.
…饮酒是有害的，对胎儿不利。但那是一种极端情况，而声称滴酒不沾才是绝对安全的说法并不可信。[1] 我建议大家去看看 Emily Oster 的佳作《好孕大数据》（Expecting Better）：https://www.amazon.com/Expecting-Better-Conventional-Pregnan... 她梳理了医学文献，破除了许多关于怀孕的谣传。
…drinking is toxic and bad for unborn children. That is an extreme behavior and claiming no amount of alcohol is allowed is not credible. [1] I encourage people to check out Emily Osters excellent book, expecting better: https://www.amazon.com/Expecting-Better-Conventional-Pregnan... She examines the medical literature and debunks many myths of pregnancy.
…变量是什么？样本量有多大？研究人员的结论是什么？）。你读过 Emily Oster 的书吗？她花了很多篇幅解读关于怀孕和育儿的数据（她写了《好孕大数据》Expecting Better 和《育儿大数据》Cribsheet）。这门科学确实很庞杂，但绝对是有数据支撑的。这就更需要专业人士来帮助父母理解这些数据是否（以及如何）适用于他们，从而为他们的决策提供参考…
…variables? what is the size of the sample? what are the researchers conclusions?). Have you ever read Emily Oster? She talks a lot about deciphering the data on pregnancy and caring for children (she wrote expecting better and crib sheet). It's messy science, but there is absolutely data. All the more reason a professional can support a parent to understand how (if) it applies to them and could inform decisions they make…
