The Sunflower Birth Q

The Sunflower Birth Q Hey yall! I'm Chaquala, known as Q (soon to be Midwife Q) in the birthing community. On my way to serving families in the Gainesville, Florida area.

Birth isn't just how it all started, or what I am. It's what's in me! 🤎🌻

🌻✨️Many people hear the word doula and ask,
“So… what exactly do you do?”

For starters, a doula does not replace medical care — we complement it by supporting the whole person: doulas support families — physically, emotionally, mentally, and physiologically — before, during, and after birth.

• Provide continuous emotional support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum
• Offer physical comfort measures during labor (positioning, movement, touch, breathing)
• Help find ways to reduce fear and anxiety by explaining what’s happening in real time
• Support informed decision-making without pressure or judgment
• Advocate for the birthing person’s preferences and voice
• Offer education on the stages of labor and what to expect
• Assist with pain-coping techniques and non-medical comfort tools
• Help create a calming and grounded birth environment
• Support partners by guiding them on how to help effectively
• Encourage physiological birth through movement, rest, and intuition
• Provide reassurance and grounding during intense moments
• Help process emotions before and after birth
• Support mental and emotional well-being during transitions
• Assist with immediate postpartum support and adjustment
• Offer breastfeeding or newborn support (within scope)
• Provide continuity of care and a familiar presence
• Hold space — without rushing, judging, or directing
• Center the birthing person’s experience, autonomy, and comfort

Do you have a doula?

Want to share a picture of an umbilical cord I witnessed at a client's birth!
🌻✨️
Umbilical cords come in many lengths, thicknesses, and degrees of coiling. These differences form throughout pregnancy and are influenced by fetal movement, blood flow, Wharton’s jelly, and the baby’s activity in the womb. As a baby moves, stretches, and grows, the cord responds by developing twists and structure designed to protect blood vessels and support continuous oxygen and nutrient flow.

No two cords look the same, and variation alone does not equal concern. Birth — like the body itself — is not one-size-fits-all. Physiology is intentional, adaptive, and incredibly wise 🌻✨️

If you have a question about it, read this first lol 😆

Definitely those social media updaters... mama, if you're telling uncle Earl and cousin Faye in Wisconsin that you're "still packing your bag, warming up pizza and laughing at the comedy on Netflix," YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RUSH TO THE HOSPITAL/ BIRTH CENTER 😅

Just letting yall know, I'm about to flood your timelines lol 😆 so much content and photos from the past year! Was so focused on "the now" and living in it, that I was no where near publishing it. But of course, building a business, spreading the word, educating and still learning ... social media is "the way to go" ... so I'm sorry, but not lol 😅

This past year, I lived the best of both worlds.

I captured memories whilst living in the moment ✨️

Contradictory huh?

Let me explain.

I took so many pictures, made flyers, prepared posts, have videos etc etc, but they were captured while enjoying what I love, then I "forgot" about them. I get home and rest. I get home and mother. I get home and decompress. And never post.

But I want to share some of those brilliant memories during this journey. So although I am done with clinic, done with school, graduated and all, I'll be flooding my timeline with some goods 👌🏾 feel free to share, like and comment 😊 ✨️🌻

Graduation came and gone, guys!
Can’t believe that it’s time to take the S off of SMW!

In less than 30 days, I will be sitting for my NARM exam, to become a Certified Professional Midwife, then apply for license to become a Florida Licensed Midwife.

I need a bit of your help and support.

I need about 500 people to donate ONE DOLLAR 💵 so that I can afford to sit for the exam.

*If I can get 18 people to gift me $1 a day, I can reach my goal in less than a month!
