Keep an open mind from "summary" of Expecting Better by Emily Oster
In pregnancy, it is crucial to approach information with a mindset that is flexible and receptive. It is easy to get overwhelmed by conflicting advice and opinions, but keeping an open mind allows you to consider different perspectives and make informed decisions that are best for you and your baby. Rather than dismissing information that contradicts what you initially believed, it is important to weigh all the evidence available. This may involve challenging conventional wisdom or questioning long-held beliefs, but being open-minded means being willing to adapt your views based on new information. By staying open to different possibilities, you can avoid tunnel vision and explore a wider range of options. This approach can help you make more confident and well-informed choices throughout your pregnancy journey. It is important to remember that knowledge is constantly evolving, and what may have been considered true in the past may not hold up to current research. In a time where there is abundant information and advice at our fingertips, it is essential to sift through the noise and discern what is reliable and evidence-based. Keeping an open mind allows you to critically evaluate sources and make decisions that are grounded in science rather than fear or misinformation.- Maintaining an open mind during pregnancy empowers you to take control of your health and well-being. It enables you to navigate the complexities of pregnancy with confidence and clarity, making decisions that are informed by the best available evidence. By embracing this mindset, you can approach your pregnancy journey with a sense of curiosity and openness that will serve you well in the months to come.
