Gentle, Supported, and Empowering Birth Experiences
At Heartbeat Midwifery, we believe birth is a sacred, deeply personal journey. Water birth offers a natural, evidence-supported way to create a calm and soothing environment for labor and delivery. Whether you choose to birth in one of our serene, spa-inspired tubs at our Lubbock birth center or in the comfort of your own home, we provide expert guidance and unwavering support to ensure your experience is both safe and empowering.
The Benefits of Water Birth
Research shows that warm water immersion during labor can reduce stress hormones, improve circulation, and promote effective uterine contractions. These effects often result in less physical tension, decreased perception of pain, and a more relaxed state—ideal for those seeking a low-intervention, natural birth. Many birthing parents find that water helps them stay grounded, move freely, and cope with contractions more comfortably.
Thoughtfully Designed Birth Center Tubs
Our birth suites are designed with your comfort and safety in mind. Each features a spacious, built-in birthing tub with an unlimited supply of warm water, creating a tranquil space for you to labor and birth. These settings blend home-like warmth with professional care, allowing you to feel both nurtured and secure throughout your journey.
Water Birth at Home with Expert Midwifery Support
Choosing to birth at home? Water birth is a well-established, safe option when supported by experienced midwives. Whether using your bathtub or a rented inflatable birth pool, our team will help you prepare a clean, safe environment and provide continuous, personalized care to support your choices and well-being.

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!
Rebecca Friesen
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.

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.
