The Unexpected
From the New York Times bestselling author of Expecting Better, a guide to navigating a second pregnancy when the first did not go as planned—with Dr. Nathan Fox, maternal-fetal medicine specialistIn Expecting Better, Emily Oster revolutionized the pregnancy landscape with her data-driven approach. In the years since, she kept hearing questions from readers on how to approach a second pregnancy when the first has not gone as planned.While The Unexpected is a book that Oster hopes no one needs, the reality is that 50 percent of pregnancies include complications, a fact we don’t talk about. Preeclampsia, miscarriage, hyperemesis gravidarum, preterm birth, postpartum depression: these are lonely experiences, and that isolation makes treatment harder to access—and crucial research and policy change less likely to happen.A reassuring window into what can feel like weighted unknowns, The Unexpected lays out the data on recurrence and treatments shown to lower or mitigate risk for thirteen different conditions and challenges that may impact subsequent pregnancies. It also provides readers road maps to facilitate productive conversations with their providers and make diagnosis and treatment more efficient, with insights from lauded maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Nathan Fox.By bridging the knowledge gap and making space for difficult conversations, The Unexpected promises to make the hardest parts of pregnancy a little bit less so.

The Family Firm
The instant New York Times bestseller • A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of the Year“Emily Oster dives into the data on parenting issues, cuts through the clutter, and gives families the bottom line to help them make better decisions.” –Good Morning AmericaFrom the bestselling author of Expecting Better and Cribsheet, the next step in data driven parenting from economist Emily Oster.In The Family Firm, Brown professor of economics and mom of two Emily Oster offers a classic business school framework for data-driven parents to think more deliberately about the key issues of the elementary years: school, health, extracurricular activities, and more.Unlike the hourly challenges of infant parenting, the big questions in this age come up less frequently. But we live with the consequences of our decisions for much longer. What's the right kind of school and at what age should a particular kid start? How do you encourage a healthy diet? Should kids play a sport and how seriously? How do you think smartly about encouraging children's independence? Along with these bigger questions, Oster investigates how to navigate the complexity of day-to-day family logistics.Making these decisions is less about finding the specific answer and more about taking the right approach. Parents of this age are often still working in baby mode, which is to say, under stress and on the fly. That is a classic management problem, and Oster takes a page from her time as a business school professor at the University of Chicago to show us that thoughtful business process can help smooth out tough family decisions.The Family Firm is a smart and winning guide to how to think clearly--and with less ambient stress--about the key decisions of the elementary school years.Parenting is a full-time job. It's time we start treating it like one.

Das einzig wahre Schwangerschafts-Handbuch
Darf ich eine Schlaftablette nehmen? Kann ich ein Salamibrötchen essen? Soll ich dem Termin für die Geburtseinleitung zustimmen, den mein Arzt vereinbaren möchte? Und was hat es mit der Einlagerung von Nabelschnurblut auf sich? Wer schwanger ist, sieht sich plötzlich einer völlig neuen Lebensrealität gegenüber.

Auch die renommierte Wirtschaftswissenschaftlerin Emily Oster stieß während ihrer Schwangerschaft auf zahlreiche Fragen, auf die sie keine eindeutige Antwort fand - Entscheidungen treffen musste sie trotzdem. Also ging sie das Problem an, wie sie es aus ihrem Beruf kennt: ganz systematisch. Sie sammelte Daten, analysierte und wog ab. Daraus ist dieses Buch entstanden. Emily Oster prüft und widerlegt zahlreiche weit verbreitete Mythen zu Themen wie Ernährung, Sport und Medikamenten in der Schwangerschaft. Auf Basis aktuellster Studien erhalten werdende Mütter so das Wissen, das sie wirklich brauchen, um die für sie besten Entscheidungen treffen zu können.

Das einzig wahre Baby-Handbuch
Stillen oder nicht stillen? Wie sieht es mit Schlaftraining aus? Wie vermeidet man Allergien? Impfen oder nicht, und wenn ja, wann? Und braucht mein Baby einen festen Tagesrythmus? Frischgebackenen Eltern sind plötzlich mit unendlich vielen Fragen konfrontiert. An gut gemeinten Ratschlägen aus dem Umfeld mangelt es dabei selten, es gibt eine - oder drei - Regeln für jede Kleinigkeit. Doch wie soll man trotz chronischen Schlafmangels noch in der Lage sein, die jeweils beste Entscheidung für das Kind und sich selbst zu treffen? Bewaffnet mit den neuesten Zahlen und Daten zu Babys Leben in den ersten vier Jahren zeigt die Wirtschaftswissenschaftlerin und zweifache Mutter Emily Oster, dass die gängigen Weisheiten nicht immer zutreffen. Sie entlarvt Mythen über das Stillen (Spoiler: kein Allheilmittel), Töpfchentraining (warten Sie, bis die Kleinen bereit sind - oder bestechen Sie sie mit M&Ms;) oder Spracherwerb (Frühsprecher sind nicht zwangsläufig Genies) und zeigt stattdessen, was wirklich gilt.

Expecting Better
Fully revised and updated for 2025, from the bestselling author of Cribsheet, The Family Firm, and The Unexpected“A revelation for curious mothers-to-be whose doctors fail to lay out the pros and cons of that morning latte, let alone discuss real science.” —The New York Times“Emily Oster is the non-judgmental girlfriend holding our hand and guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood. She has done the work to get us the hard facts in a soft, understandable way.” —Amy SchumerThe award-winning economist named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people disproves standard recommendations about pregnancy to empower women while they're expecting. Pregnancy—unquestionably one of the most profound, meaningful experiences of adulthood—can reduce otherwise intelligent women to, well, babies. Pregnant women are told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee without ever being told why these are forbidden. Rules for prenatal testing are similarly unexplained. Parents-to-be desperately want a resource that empowers them to make their own right choices.When award-winning economist Emily Oster was a mom-to-be herself, she evaluated the data behind the accepted rules of pregnancy, and discovered that most are often misguided and some are just flat-out wrong. Debunking myths and explaining everything from the real effects of caffeine to the surprising dangers of gardening, Expecting Better is the book for every pregnant woman who wants to enjoy a healthy and relaxed pregnancy—and the occasional glass of wine.

Opvoedfeiten
Op data gebaseerd, voor een relaxter ouderschap, van baby tot peuterE-bookDe Nederlandse vertaling van het succesvolle Cribsheet Op de nuchtere feiten in dit boek kun je als ouder echt vertrouwen 'Dit boek staat bij ons thuis inmiddels beter bekend als “De Bijbel”. In de wereld van opvoedboeken is er een enorme hoeveelheid onzin op de markt, maar dit is een slim, genuanceerd en écht wetenschappelijk onderbouwd pleidooi voor relaxter, leuker en gezonder ouderschap.' Rutger Bregman, auteur van o.a. De meeste mensen deugen Je kunt als aanstaande ouder helemaal gek en onzeker worden van alle – en vaak tegenstrijdige – adviezen die je krijgt; maar wat klopt er nu werkelijk van al die goedbedoelde raad? Wat zeggen de data en welke onderzoeken zijn echt betrouwbaar? Emily Oster, econoom, professor en moeder van twee kinderen, besloot zelf de onderzoeken uit te pluizen om de feiten boven tafel te krijgen. Ze ontkracht mythes rondom borstvoeding (geen wondermiddel), slaaptraining (goed te doen!), zindelijkheidstraining (wacht totdat ze er klaar voor zijn, of koop ze om), taalontwikkeling (vroege praters worden niet per definitie genieën), en vele andere onderwerpen. Zo kun je als ouder je eigen, weloverwogen keuzes maken. Keuzes die voor iedereen anders kunnen zijn, maar die met dit boek in elk geval gebaseerd zijn op feiten in plaats van fabels. Emily Oster is professor economie aan Brown University en schrijft boeken over zwangerschap en ouderschap. Haar werk is gepubliceerd in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes en Esquire. Emily staat ook wel bekend als de ‘parenting guru’. Haar doel: een wereld creëren van meer ontspannen (aanstaande) ouders. Ze woont in de Verenigde Staten met haar man en twee kinderen.
