Bridget Wojtowich
Student Midwife
Bridget is a senior student midwife from Vidor, TX. She now lives in Louisiana with her husband and two children. Her first birth was in a hospital and she knew she did not want the same experience again. After learning all she could about birth, she had her second baby at the Birth Center of Beaumont. She could not get enough of the birth world and changed paths to midwifery. She has been training with Jackie Griggs for 2 years. Every interaction Bridget has had since starting her midwifery journey has been seen as a blessing.
"Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the abundance of love within a growing family. Being with them through their prenatal care and birth allows me to be a part of their family temporarily. We get to laugh, cry, and pray together; all while I strengthen my clinical skills by ensuring their health and safety."
