Gentle, Ongoing Support After Birth
At Heartbeat Midwifery, postpartum care begins the moment your baby's first breath fills the room. We honor this sacred time by centering rest, healing, and deep connection in the days and weeks that follow. Your first visit unfolds in the quiet comfort of your own home—where your body can settle, your heart can breathe, and your midwife can lovingly check on your healing, answer your questions, and celebrate the rhythms of your new baby.
Here for You, Always
Our support doesn't stop there. We stay close, offering continued visits wrapped in kindness and 24/7 access for those moments when you need a steady voice or gentle guidance. From breastfeeding wisdom to emotional check-ins and newborn care tailored uniquely to your little one's rhythms, we walk beside you with tenderness and respect.
If a tear comes with your birth story, know that our midwives are skilled in the art of gentle repair—dedicated to your comfort and nurturing healing, because we believe that how you are cared for in those moments shapes your whole recovery.
You'll also receive soft, attentive newborn assessments, thoughtful screening options, and loving education on the quiet language of newborn cues, feeding, and sleep—offered with patience and presence. Whether you've birthed at home or in our birth center, we hold space for you in this tender season of transformation and growth.
Compassionate Postpartum Care
From the first breath to the first weeks, we're here—steady, caring, and present—supporting your family's unfolding story with open hearts and gentle hands.
Happy words from happy families
I just had my second baby with Heartbeat and I have zero regrets with either of my births. Heartbeat's staff are wonderful and respectful and I had an amazing experience both times! I chose the birth center for both deliveries and loved having such a beautiful birth space and huge tub ready to go without me prepping it or cleaning it. I HIGHLY recommend Heartbeat- Carmen is the most experienced midwife in the Lubbock area and her wide range of birth knowledge made me feel at peace/ even through a breech baby and ECV- Carmen fixed me up and flipped my baby without issue. I'll be back if we have a third. 🤗 Love this place and their team!

I look back on my first pregnancy, birth experience, and postpartum care with gratitude because of the Heartbeat Midwifery staff. Carmen exudes a confidence, calmness, and competency that lets her clients feel absolutely safe. Because of my experience at the center, I feel empowered and strong and look forward to many more natural, unmediated births!

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!

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.
