Women’s Health & Birth Services

My name is Dawn Housos and I’m a home birth midwife in Conroe, New Waverly, Huntsville, and the surrounding areas.  I am a mother to five precious blessings—each one with his or her own unique birth story.  I first began my journey to serving birthing families 9 years ago when the Lord birthed the desire in me following the delivery of one of my own children.  Before becoming a midwife, I worked in a NICU as a respiratory therapist and have also worked with families as a doula and midwife assistant.  I have midwifery experience working at a birth center, and it is now my joy to serve families in the greater Houston area as a home birth midwife.

I believe that pregnancy and birth are a normal and natural occurrence in a woman’s life, which should be regarded with dignity and respect for the mother and the family unit. I believe a woman should be nurtured, encouraged, and supported throughout her pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum period. I offer homebirth and birth center birth.

I believe childbirth is a normal, natural event ordained by God which left to nature will proceed to an uncomplicated end in most cases. I believe the midwife's job is to assist the birthing couple in the journey through pregnancy, labor and birth by monitoring the process. Childbirth should be a family centered event and the midwife's role should be to enhance, not usurp the family's unity, or the father's authority. Except where there is an issue concerning the safety of the mother or child, I believe the parents should have the experiences they desire and I encourage specific requests regarding the birth experience.

I am the mother of 5 sons, 3 of which were born with the help of midwives. I am proud to be a midwife and love being part of this great group of Houston midwives. http://www.Jackiegriggsmidwife.com I became a midwife because I did not like being part of the high c-section rate in the hospital. I wanted to be part of the solution. I like being a midwife much better because I like working with women from the beginning of their pregnancy until the baby is several weeks old. I also like working in a group of experienced midwives so that we can help each other. I truly believe birth centers and midwifery are the future of maternity care in the United States, and I am happy to be part of it.

I love helping mommas in their journey whether they are interested in Full Midwifery Care or would feel more comfortable with labor support in the hospital. I have 5 children, the first 3 in the traditional hospital setting and my last 2 were born in the comfort of my home. I would love to meet with you to discuss your options and hopes for your next childbirth experience!

I have been a Texas Licensed Midwife since 2003, serving primarily Brazos county and the counties surrounding it. My passion is to care for mothers and babies. I love continually learning about pregnancy and birth while also teaching how to live healthy and well. I view my occupation as safeguarding the natural process of birth. This begins long before labor by establishing a good foundation with diet, exercise & lifestyle. I am privileged to walk with families through this miraculous journey.

Over 21 years ago, I attended my first birth. Knowing very little about childbirth, I was intrigued when a friend asked me to be at her daughter’s home birth delivery. I assisted the midwife with anything that was needed, while watching with awe as the little girl was born. This began my journey to becoming a midwife.

I began my journey to becoming a midwife at the age of 16. I first became a nurse as there were no direct entry schools at that time. My initial plan was to go to CNM school, but I had my first baby 5 days after graduating nursing school...and life happened. I worked as a nurse first in ICU/ ER, then in L&D, NICU and Mom/Baby units. Later, I worked in a couple of birth centers and assisted other midwives with home birth. Eventually the Lord opened it up for me to be able to continue my education through a distance ed/ direct entry/ apprenticeship program: The Association of Texas Midwives Training Program. I became a LM and CPM in 2005. I provide home birth and birth center services through the Katy Birth Center. My husband and I have 5 amazing children , 5 grandchildren and another due in April !
