Doula for high-risk pregnancies · Forsyth County & north metro Atlanta
Your pregnancy is high-risk. Your birth can still be yours.
Steady, prepared support from a birth doula who has lived with Type 1 diabetes since 2000 and been the high-risk patient twice.
The road from here
A longer road than you expected, with someone who knows it
Is this you?
Your questions, written down
We prepare for your OB and maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) visits together, and I help you make sense of the answers afterward.
Two birth plans
One for the birth you hope for. One for the likely alternatives: an induction, a cesarean or a NICU stay. Whichever way the day goes, you've already decided what matters most.
Me beside you, the whole time
Continuous support alongside your care team, with comfort techniques that still work when you're monitored. Hypnobabies and Hypnobirthing clients welcome.
Two postpartum visits
Help getting early breastfeeding or pumping off to a good start, at home.
I'm Allison
I've walked this road twice, with Type 1 diabetes the whole way.
I've had Type 1 since 2000. Both of my pregnancies came with specialist visits, extra scans and a lot to remember. Many women helped me through. Now I pass that on.
Respectful, safe care is for every family, including women of color and LGBTQ+ families. I'll ask what names and pronouns you and your partner use, and use them.
Read my storyThe whole journey, one price
Prenatal and birth support is $1,200, all in.
That's three prenatal sessions, two birth plans, on-call support from 37 weeks, me at your birth, and two postpartum visits with feeding support. Paid out of pocket, in full or in two parts, with travel within 30 miles of South Forsyth included.

Will my OB or midwife mind?
My role is nonmedical. I help you bring organized questions to your appointments and support you alongside your care team in labor.
Does Northside Forsyth allow doulas?
Yes. Northside allows three support people, and a doula counts as one (Northside FAQ).
Is it covered by insurance?
It's paid out of pocket, and the price is posted, so there are no surprises.
Let's talk about your birth.
I take one or two births a month, so start with your dates and I'll reply with the times I'm free.
