Hello! I am Jane Hitch and I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I have been married to Rick, my best friend, for 26 years. We have been blessed with two terrific children, Evan age 24 (8 lb. 6 oz. at birth) and Amy age 22 (11 lbs. 3 oz. at birth). Both of our children were born at home. I know birth intimately from three perspectives: as a mother, as a labor and delivery nurse, and as a midwife. I have experienced first-hand what a difference information and a sense of control can make when you are having a baby. The home birth of my first child was such an empowering experience. It was among the hardest, most rewarding work I have ever done. I was moved to share how wonderful birth can be. I wanted expectant families to know that they have the power to make choices in childbirth, and that pregnancy and birth are normal processes; not mysterious or scary events to be "delivered from."
I became a Certified Childbirth Educator in the Bradley Method. In an effort to be the best childbirth instructor I could be, I began attending births with my midwife. The more births I attended, the more my passion grew for helping women birth naturally. I was first documented by the state of Texas to practice as a midwife on April 24, 1987. I am a retired La Leche League Leader, a Certified Professional Midwife by the North American Registry of Midwives, a former member of the Texas Department of Health Midwifery Board , and I have a bachelors of science degree in registered nursing from Carson-Newman College. I have worked as a staff nurse in Ben Taub hospital's very busy birthing unit and I still work as a labor and delivery nurse several days a month at West Houston Medical Center.
It is a privilege to facilitate the childbirth process and to enhance the best possible outcome for women and their newborns. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in this way. I have helped hundreds of women give birth, held hundreds of tiny little babies and have made many long-lasting friendships. I can honestly say after all these years of being a midwife... I still feel the passion!

PS: Evan and Amy have grown into adults we are so proud of. These doggies are our children replacements.
