Mom Jackie Mancinelli tells the story of the pregnancy and birth of her son, Richard. Over a period of days Jackie experienced a fetal maternal hemorrhage which led to an emergent delivery. In this episode, Jackie addresses multiple issues surrounding her miscarriage and pregnancy, including outdated information found on the internet and family leave and benefits for mothers experiencing loss.
Jackie was able to survive her experiences by keeping herself busy with an odd job, therapy, strong family and friend bonds, and building her own nonprofit- Start Healing Together.
Jackie is a mom, wife, sister, fierce advocate, and high school English and ESL teacher in NJ. She is the founder of Start Healing Together, an organization dedicated to supporting educators experiencing pregnancy loss and infertility. She is also the New Jersey Ambassador for Count the Kicks. Follow Start Healing Together on Instagram and Facebook, and check out the website.
