Know the Signs!

What if “something doesn’t feel right”? This is the beginning of an important conversation. YOU know your body. 

If you're pregnant or postpartum and something feels different, unusual, worsening, or simply not right, don't be afraid to ask questions. You have the right to ask questions and receive understandable information about your care.

Sis, Don’t Let Them Turn You Away!

Too many families know what it feels like to ask for help, report a concern, or say something doesn't feel right, but still not be heard.

That has to change!

On August 29, 2026, Earth’s Natural Touch: Birth Care & Beyond, Inc. is celebrating the Sis, Don’t Let Them Turn You Away! campaign, a community effort focused on helping Black families recognize their rights, communicate with their healthcare providers, ask questions, advocate for themselves, and know when they need to push for answers. Because being heard shouldn't depend on who you are, how you speak, or whether someone believes you.

7 DAYS UNTIL the “Sis, Don’t Let Them Turn You Away!” Launch Celebration.

Postpartum Awareness Week Walk
Saturday, May 9th | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍Lakeside Park | Duncanville, TX

This Mother’s Day weekend, we’re giving moms one of the most powerful gifts they can receive… REST.

Delighted to Doula, in partnership with Daddy Stroller Club, invites fathers and partners to bring their children out for a morning of connection, community, and intentional support—while moms stay home to experience uninterrupted rest and care.
Because postpartum support doesn’t stop after birth.
It continues through healing, recovery, and the everyday moments where mothers need to feel seen, supported, and protected.

✨ Fathers + partners will receive a special gift bag to take home for mom
✨ Community connection + family support
✨ A memorial banner honoring mothers lost to maternal mortality
✨ A powerful reminder that postpartum care is essential—not optional

This event is both a celebration and a call to action.

Join us as we raise awareness, honor mothers, and create space for healing in our community.

Tag a dad. Tag a partner. Tag someone who believes mothers deserve better.

May is Maternal Mental Health Month — a time to raise awareness, break stigma, and remind every mother that her mental health matters too. 💜

Motherhood can be beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum, loss, or everyday motherhood, you deserve support, compassion, and care.

At Sunflower Births, we believe no mother should suffer in silence.
✨ You are not alone.
✨ It’s okay to ask for help.
✨ Healing is possible.

Let’s continue creating safe spaces, sharing resources, and uplifting mothers in every stage of their journey.
