About Me


Hello, and welcome to Little Miracles!
I am Rosemary Antunes, a wife of 32 years, homeschooling mother of 8 children, and grandmother of 5!
As an OB Nurse for 25 years, I have attended hundreds of births. As a Doula, I found an opportunity to fulfill a long-held dream: to facilitate the birthing process in the hospital setting, in as natural a way as possible, one woman at a time.
My experience as a Childbirth Educator includes not only the traditional classroom setting, but also private, in-home classes, customized to my clients' needs.
My choice of a blogspot, as opposed to a website, involves my desire to help my clients and others interact with me and with each other more easily.
Enjoy!




Here's my story:
I am the third child of seven children.
Graduated from St.Francis Hospital School of Nursing, Hartford, Connecticut
