email: JenniferCantrell.SBD@stillbirthday.info
Wife to an army veteran and mommy to 4 kids who I hold in my arms and 15 kids I hold in my heart. Originally from Maryland. My passion in life is children. Have been a pre K teacher for many years but since my high risk pregnancy with my most recent rainbow, I am now a stay at home mommy. I lost my first child at 19.6weeks in 2001, Jennyfur Angel. Shortly after she grew her wings, I became pregnant with my oldest child. Throughout the following years, I became pregnant many times, giving birth to my two daughters and suffering multiple miscarriages. In 2009 I met my now husband. In 2010 we suffered a miscarriage at 8 weeks. followed by two ectopic pregnancies in 2011 and 2012. In Jan 2013 we found out we were yet again, pregnant. After a very strenuous, high risk pregnancy, our rainbow was born Sep 7, 2013 at 38 weeks. Since than I decided to have a tubal ligation, making my 4 living children, the only children I will hold in my arms. During my pregnancy, I found support through a fellow SBD Doula, and a local Doula, Thats when I knew… this was the path I was meant to lead! God gave me my trails and tribulations to mold me into a SBD Doula so that I can provide support and compainonship to those who need it the most.
Along with providing local support, I am always open to providing support online, via email to anyone going through perinatal loss or a rainbow pregnancy.
CONGRATS to you Jen xx Way to go ! <3
