Approach to Care
I am a certified midwife with over 19 years of experience and nearly 400 births under my belt. But, first and foremost I am a Child of God and I aim to listen closely to His voice at all times. Next, I am the wife to Jackie Robinett of 38 years. We are parents to three great people and have 2 grandchildren!

Approach to Care
I believe in providing personalized care to each woman and her family. My goal in practice is always to build relationship, trust, and a special bond with each of my clients as we walk through such a vital time in life. I provide comprehensive education and support through pregnancy & child-bearing while maintaining excellence with passion.

Approach to Care
Services
I offer a range of services including prenatal care, labor and birth support, postpartum care, & breastfeeding support. For my established clients I also offer placenta encapsulation, and as of 2024 I'm adding Ultrasound services too! Most of my clients birth at home, but I will also travel and support families at a nearby Birth Center.
Welcome to the Gentle World of Midwives!
Midwives who facilitate home birth are expert caregivers for natural birth. Betsy Robinett has been lovingly attending natural home births since 2005. Since she is based in a rural area, she has a smaller practice, which means that your pregnancy care will be relaxed and you will be given all the time you need for discussing any questions and health issues at your prenatal visit.
Service Areas
She is based in Comanche County and serves approximately a 50-mile radius. Counties served include: Bosque, Brown, Callahan, Coleman, Comanche, Eastland, Erath, Hamilton, Hood, Mills, Palo Pinto, Parker, Shackelford, Somervell, and Stephens. She mainly serves in the Stephenville and Brownwood areas.
Prenatal Care
Betsy focuses on nutrition, herbs, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle so that the client can have the optimal pregnancy and a very healthy baby.
She mainly attends home births, although she has access to nearby birth centers. If a client prefers a birth center birth, there will be an additional access fee payable to the chosen center. Betsy provides complete prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. Her clients see her every four weeks until week 30, then every two weeks until week 36, then every week until birth. Betsy will make a home visit to a client’s home around week 36 of the pregnancy so that she can be sure of the location of a client’s house and also check on birth supplies.
References
If a potential client would like to speak with some of Betsy’s former clients, she has many references that would be more than happy to share their experience with you. Most of the clients that Betsy serves stay in touch with her long after their birth.
About Betsy Robinett
Betsy is very happily married to her husband of more than three decades — Jackie. He is her best friend. They have 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren! You can find her playing piano, knitting, crocheting, sewing, gardening, or traveling the US with Jackie in her free time.
She enjoys music, and loves to play the piano, whether it’s at church, at home, or anywhere else. She’s been playing the piano since she was eight years old. She thanks Mom and Dad for the lessons! Her parents and grandparents are Texans, but she’s a transplant, having been born and grown up in Mexico. This means that she’s completely bilingual with Spanish and English, and loves using both languages to serve her community. She learned Spanish the easy way, as a young child, and she loves to tell people that she didn’t know that English was her first language until she was 12 years old!
