I was told that if one of the parents had asthma, or allergies, or eczema, the risk is higher that the child has one or several of those too. If that's the case, I really think you should reconsider or at least do it at a hospital. In our case, both of us has/had all of the above, and our daughter did end up with it too. We don't have peanut allergies though, which she has. Curiously enough, she also reacts strongly to fish egg. Not fish itself, just the eggs (ie caviar, rom, etc). Shrimp and shrimp eggs are fine though. I strongly remember the times she accidentally ate caviar. Took maybe a couple of seconds before she started screaming, saying her lips and mouth hurt, then vomiting like Linda Blair in the Exorcist. Quite scary. One of the times I hadn't cleaned the table good enough the night before when I was snacking on sandwiches with caviar. None visible, just must've missed some protein or so.
