Echoing the other comments to recommend Expecting Better by Emily Oster. All of the other books I tried to read were poorly researched and borderline condescending. She digs up the (sometimes decades old and poor quality) research that underpins all the "conventional wisdom" and gives you the statistics to make your own risk calculations.


Thanks, that sounds like the one!
