Consider the context from "summary" of Expecting Better by Emily Oster

When making decisions during pregnancy, it is essential to consider the context in which the information is presented. This means looking at the bigger picture and not just taking data at face value. For example, when evaluating the risks of drinking alcohol during pregnancy, it is crucial to understand the level of consumption and the specific circumstances involved. Context also plays a significant role in interpreting medical studies and statistics. Just because a study finds a correlation between two factors does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. It is essential to look at the study design, sample size, and other variables that may impact the results. In addition, personal circumstances and preferences should be taken into account when making decisions about pregnancy. What works for one person may not work for another, and it is important to consider individual needs and values. For example, when deciding whether or not to get a flu shot during pregnancy, it is essential to weigh the risks and benefits based on your own health history and beliefs.
  1. Considering the context allows for a more nuanced and informed decision-making process. By looking beyond the surface and taking into account all relevant factors, you can make choices that are best suited to your unique situation. This approach empowers you to take control of your pregnancy journey and make decisions that align with your values and goals.
