Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong - and What You Really Need to Know by Emily OsterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Probably the best book my wife and I have read thus far during her pregnancy. This is by no means a scientific paper or study, but she takes us through her pregnancy and consults with all the studies she can find for every stage and issue she encounters during this time. Anyway, here you will find data behind most of the issues encountered during pregnancy (with all the sources in the endnotes, in case you're interested in the original studies).
I was amazed how, considering humans have been getting pregnant since before we were humans, so much advice and "common knowledge" isn't based on any reliable data, but just repeated as fact.
