Hello Everyone,

I'm wondering if any one out there has gone through a dairy-free pregnancy
yet?  I just recently had the wonderful pleasure of discovering the fact
that I am pregnant with my first child which is due in June.  For the past 8
years, we didn't even think that was possible, so this is fantastic news!

The thing I am running across already is that NONE of the doctor's, nurse's
or midwife's within the clinic I attend have any experience with casein
allergies.  It has raised many questions.  Surely I can't be the only woman
to ever go through pregnancy dairy free!  I would love to hear from anyone
else and share experiences.  I think I have LOTS of questions!

Also, I know that there are several mother's on this lists who's children
are allergic to dairy products.  I know that genetics won't guarantee that
my child will be allergic to the same things I am, but I do know that
genetics indicate that it is very likely my child will also suffer from
severe allergies as I do.  With this in mind, I would like to talk a bit
about how to choose a good pediatrician who is allergy aware, some of the
struggles you faced, what helped, what didn't, and what worked for you.

Waiting to hear from some of you...

Smiles,
Dawn
