> I  am  lactose  intolerant  and,   thus,  avoid all milk products.

In my lamaze class the importance of calcium was discussed,
along with various sources for it. Interestingly (and I think
unusually), almost all of us pregnant women in the class dislike milk.

Dark leafy vegetables (spinich, collard greens, turnip
greens, mustard greens, etc.) are high in calcium, as are the
items listed in the above article. One thing mentioned by the
instructor was that yogurt can often be consumed by those who
are lactose intolerant without a reaction, because the lactose is
broken down into two simpler products. Yogurt has the same calcium
content as milk.
