Countrymidwife.com is a resource for families seeking information about natural birth, midwives and home birth in Northeastern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
My name is Stacy Vandenput; I am a traditional midwife, mother of three home-birthed children and grandmother of two: one born at home, the other born in Crown Point, Indiana in the back of our mini-van, while returning from our family vacation in New York.
I began helping families with their births in 1990, first as a Bradley Method childbirth instructor and labor assistant, then as an apprentice midwife under the tutelage of Alice Skenandore.
I have helped over 450 babies be born. Some families chose natural birth in hospitals or birthing centers, others chose to give birth at home.
I invite you to take your time here and see what you can glean from the stories, anecdotes and lessons of a country midwife.
