Hello,
my name is Jill Colin and I am a home birth midwife living in North Las Vegas,
Nevada.
My "informed choice" is available upon request which tells you
all about me, my practice, background, training, experience, etc... After much
consideration I decided to become a midwife, er, let me rephrase that: I am a
midwife and will always be one! I just didn't start practicing until 1988!
Midwifery to me is not just another career, but a gift that I have, and with a
lot of loving support and training I am able to utilize this gift and help
several families to experience the births that they truly have been dreaming
about! I specialize in water birth and VBAC deliveries. My stats are very
impressive with a very low c-sec rate of under 5%. No laboring mom has ever been
transported because they needed an epidural. However, I plug families into a
wealth of informative resources to prepare physically, emotionally, mentally and
Spiritually.
I am just an ordinary person. Okay, I am not ordinary but
extremely intense! Hahahaa I am a mom to 4 grown, great children. Bo (28)
Zackary (26) Roshelle (23) Chase (21) and Kaya (21). I also have 4 darling
grandchildren and I am called "Nana", my daughter has three out of four (Fairah
is 6 1/2, Dylan is 5, & baby Rylan is 15 months). Zack has a son, Mason who
is also 5 1/2. I have been married twice and now I am married for the 3rd time
to a great man (they say 3 times a charm). We just live life to the fullest, try
to stay healthy and enjoy watching our children grow up. I noticed that out of
our 5 children they all are different and unique and when it comes to my
midwifery practice, I noticed that everyone is different and should not be
treated the same. My care is extremely personalized and I strive to be the best
caregiver that there is to the individual families that I take care
of!
The prenatal checkups are held in my home (very modest office) and
the baby’s birth takes place in the clients home, or relatives, hotel room, just
depends. I have had a clinic background as well and even a rural midwifery
practice in the Midwest for 2 years serving the Mennonite community. All in all
I enjoy my work, no matter where or how birth takes place, it is always a
miracle to me!
So to all the folks out there; Have a special delivery,
call your midwife!
