specialized careExperienced Breech, Twin, and VBAC Care in Lubbock, Texas
Every pregnancy tells its own beautiful story, and sometimes that story includes a breech baby, twins, or a VBAC journey. These births deserve more than a referral to the operating room. They deserve a team with the training and the track record to guide you through each step.
At Heartbeat, specialized birth support is not a sideline. It is what we are known for. Our team has attended over 2,100 births, including vaginal breech births, twin births, and vaginal births after cesarean. Families come to our Lubbock birth center from across Texas and beyond because this depth of experience is rare, and because every decision here is held with kindness and made with you, never for you.
Experience That Makes the Difference
When a baby is breech, when twins are on the way, or when a mother hopes for a vaginal birth after cesarean, too often the conversation jumps straight to surgery. At Heartbeat Midwifery, we honor a different way: personalized, evidence-based midwifery care built on real experience with these exact births.
That experience runs deep. Our clinical lead, Carmen Geyman, LM, is the most experienced midwife in Lubbock, with nearly 1,700 births attended over 22 years. She has trained the majority of the practicing midwives in West Texas, and she teaches breech, twin, and birth complication management to midwives nationally and internationally. The skills other providers travel across the country to learn are the same skills present at every Heartbeat birth.
And you are never in the hands of just one provider. Heartbeat is a true team practice. Every birth is attended by midwives who train together, practice complications together, and follow shared evidence-based guidelines. When you choose Heartbeat, you choose a team that has seen these births many times before and prepared for them many times more.
Through every step, we walk alongside you: monitoring your baby's position and growth, watching twin pregnancies closely, supporting your body's natural wisdom, and offering guidance tailored just for you. And because our birth center sits minutes from both Covenant and UMC, if your journey ever calls for hospital care, we will help you transfer smoothly to a team who shares your values, so you are never without informed, compassionate support.
No matter how your path unfolds, whether breech, twins, VBAC, or all three, we are here to hold your hand with clarity, competence, and unwavering support.

Happy words from happy families
We had both our babies at heartbeat and could not recommend it enough! The midwives took such good care of us and welcomed us with open arms! Sofi always greeted us with a smile and a positive attitude! They made us feel like family! Carmen and Kelly delivered my last baby and it was such a peaceful experience. These ladies really care for their patients! We hope to be back for our next baby!

Suzanna Rempel
The people at Heartbeat Midwifery are the sweetest ladies ever, so kind and considerate and were there for every question and concern I had. They were so helpful in giving advice on supplements to take and what foods to eat to support my pregnancy and birth and it made a huge difference! At my birth they were so reassuring and knew exactly what they were doing and I have never felt so seen and cared for. My baby was born beautiful and healthy and that is thanks to them. As a first time Mom I couldn't have done this without all of their great support! I would 100% recommend then to anyone!

All 3 of our babies have been born at Heartbeat along with Heartbeat helping us through a loss. Carmen and all the other amazing midwives and students that have seen their way through Heartbeat have been a part of each of our incredible journeys. We are beyond thankful for the relationships made while bringing our babies earth side. We are thankful for the support beyond just pregnancy and birth. We can't recommend Heartbeat enough. I know that had we not had the support from a very knowledgeable and experienced midwife my birthing experiences would've been much different.

Naomi Massey
We absolutely loved our experience at Heartbeat. Each prenatal appointment leading up to the birth I felt 100% supported and cared for. As a first time mom, I had lots of questions, and they were so gracious to answer every one and never make me feel bad about asking so many. Their entire staff is warm and welcoming. I was lucky enough to have Carmen, Shianne, and Ellie at my birth at one point, and they all made me feel safe and supported! Their intentional care continued through the several appointments I had postpartum as well! If we are in the Lubbock area for baby #2, we will absolutely use Heartbeat again.
