Know the risks and benefits from "summary" of Expecting Better by Emily Oster

When making decisions during pregnancy, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the risks and benefits associated with various choices. It is not enough to simply follow recommendations blindly; instead, one must critically evaluate the available information in order to make informed decisions that align with their personal values and preferences. In some cases, the risks associated with a particular choice may be overstated or based on outdated information. It is important to consider the context in which the research was conducted and to be aware of any potential biases that may have influenced the results. By taking a critical approach to evaluating the available evidence, one can make decisions that are truly in their best interest. Similarly, it is important to consider the potential benefits of a particular choice, as well as the risks. In some cases, the benefits may outweigh the risks, making a particular choice a reasonable option despite potential drawbacks. By carefully weighing the potential benefits against the potential risks, one can make decisions that are well-informed and evidence-based.
