New! Babylady Book

Babylady, The Wisdom of a Midwife in the Mountains
$24.95

At the age of 12, Lisa Goldstein was pulled into a home birth in Naples, Italy, by the apartment custodian’s family.  She was needed to support the solitary midwife who needed another pair of hands. This set a life path that led to her being the only lay midwife recognized to practice by the North Carolina State Board of Nursing after lay midwives were outlawed in 1983.   

Opening with Lisa’s own story of this journey, and spanning a career of more than 3,000 births, this book is filled with accounts from some of the mothers, doctors, nurses, friends, and family speaking to the impact one woman had on their lives. Anyone interested in birth will be inspired by these stories.

58 pages. Paperback.

Midwifery in the Mountains

Now retired, Lisa Goldstein has been attending home births since 1958. Her three sons were born at home. She has lived in the western North Carolina mountains since the early 1970s and in 1983 became North Carolina's only legal non-nurse midwife. In the 1990s, she became an RN and then completed the CNEP program for nurse-midwifery, becoming a CNM in 1998. She most recently worked at Bakersville Community Medical Clinic, as well as her own office, The Fern Kingham Memorial Women's Health Center and Birth Apartment. She attended births at home, the birth apartment and Spruce Pine Community Hospital as well as providing well woman health care which included yearly pelvic exams and pap tests.
