Pregnancy Myths vs. Reality: An Economist Takes Charge
When I discovered I was pregnant during an economics conference, my first thought wasn't about nursery colors-it was about my morning coffee. Could I still have it? The pregnancy advice I encountered was frustratingly contradictory. As an economics professor with a PhD, I was trained to analyze data and make evidence-based decisions. Why should pregnancy be any different? This disconnect launched me on a journey to apply economic decision-making principles to pregnancy. Instead of accepting vague warnings and arbitrary rules, I dove into the research myself. What I discovered was eye-opening: many standard pregnancy recommendations are based on minimal evidence, outdated research, or extreme caution rather than clear risk-benefit analysis. By challenging conventional wisdom with hard data, I found a more relaxed, less rigid approach to pregnancy-one that empowers women to make informed choices based on actual risks rather than fears. Think about it: wouldn't you rather know that the occasional glass of wine has no documented negative effects rather than being told simply "don't drink" without explanation? Wouldn't you prefer understanding which foods actually pose risks during pregnancy instead of memorizing an arbitrary prohibited list?
