You are not
one-size-fits-all,
so neither are our services.
Your health doesn't begin with pregnancy—or end after birth. Whatever season you're in, we're here with experienced, relationship-centered care.
Our care extends beyond labor and delivery because your health doesn't begin with pregnancy—or end after birth. Whatever season you're in, we're here with experienced, relationship-centered care.
You are not one-size-fits-all,
so neither are our services.
We believe good prenatal care is about more than checking boxes and measuring a growing belly. It’s an opportunity to build a relationship with your midwifery team, understand what’s happening in your body, and prepare for the birth ahead.
We encourage an initial visit early in pregnancy to establish care, complete initial labs, talk through your health history, and begin getting to know one another. Our prenatal visits are intentionally unhurried, giving us time to monitor your health and your baby’s growth while leaving plenty of room for questions, conversation, and individualized care.
Throughout pregnancy, we’ll provide routine prenatal care, in-house lab draws, testing and counseling, and coordinate ultrasounds with trusted local providers as needed. Just as importantly, we’ll help you understand your options, anticipate decisions you may face, and learn what is normal as pregnancy progresses.
By the time labor begins, we don’t want to be strangers meeting you in a birth room. We want to know you, what matters to you, and how to care for you well.
Prenatal
preconception
Whether you’re actively trying to conceive or simply thinking ahead, preconception care gives you the opportunity to prepare for pregnancy before it begins. During this one-hour consultation, you’ll meet with a midwife to review your health history, talk through your goals and concerns, and identify anything worth addressing before pregnancy.
If desired, we can teach fertility awareness and cycle charting to help you better understand your cycle and identify your fertile window. We’ll also talk about nutrition, supplements, exercise, medications, and lifestyle factors that can affect fertility and pregnancy. When indicated, laboratory testing can provide additional information and help guide next steps.
Most importantly, this is a place to ask the questions you may not know where else to ask. Whether pregnancy is something you hope for soon or somewhere down the road, our goal is to help you understand your body, know what to expect, and enter pregnancy with a strong foundation.
Pregnancy and birth don’t always follow a predictable path. If something changes during pregnancy and you need care outside of our scope, we’ll help you transition to the appropriate provider. When possible and appropriate, we may also be able to continue supportive care alongside your medical team so you can maintain the relationships you’ve built with us.
If a transfer becomes necessary during labor or birth, our commitment to you doesn’t end at the hospital doors. We’ll help communicate with the receiving team, provide relevant information about your care, and remain with you when circumstances allow.
Thinking about transferring to Jubilee? We welcome families who begin pregnancy with another provider and later decide they want something different. Whether you’re early in pregnancy or getting closer to your due date, reach out. We’ll review your records, talk through your pregnancy and birth plans, and determine together whether out-of-hospital birth at Jubilee is still a safe and appropriate option for you.

the fundamentals
At Jubilee, we approach labor and birth as normal, physiologic processes that most often unfold best when women feel safe, supported, and free to follow their bodies. Our role is not to direct your birth, but to protect the space for it while carefully watching over you and your baby.
During labor, you are encouraged to move, eat and drink, rest, get in the water, change positions, make noise, and listen to what your body is telling you. There is no one right way to labor or give birth. Your midwives provide ongoing clinical assessment and monitoring while offering comfort measures, hydrotherapy, position changes, encouragement, and hands-on support when you want or need it.
We are intentional about not making ourselves the center of the room. When everything is unfolding normally, we are comfortable stepping back, observing, and giving you space. But stepping back doesn’t mean we aren’t paying attention. Throughout labor, we are continually assessing you and your baby, watching for changes, and making sure what we are seeing remains within the range of normal.
When something needs our attention, we have the training, equipment, medications, and clinical judgment to respond. We’ll talk with you about what we’re seeing, explain what we recommend and why, and make decisions with you as circumstances change.
Birth at Jubilee is mother-led and baby-centered. We’ll bring our skills and experience, but this is your body, your baby, and your birth. Our job is to know when to be quiet, when to offer a hand, and when to act.
For many women, water becomes one of the most valuable tools in the birth room. Warm water can ease muscle tension, provide significant pain relief, and create a sense of calm and privacy during labor. Buoyancy takes pressure off the body and makes it easier to move, change positions, and find what feels right as labor progresses.
At Jubilee, you don’t have to decide ahead of time whether you’re having a “water birth.” You can get in when it feels good, get out when it doesn’t, labor in the water and give birth on land, or stay in the tub to welcome your baby. Your midwives will continue monitoring you and your baby and help determine whether water remains a safe option as labor unfolds.
For healthy women with low-risk pregnancies, water immersion during labor is a well-supported option and may reduce the need for other forms of pain relief. For appropriate candidates, giving birth in water can offer a gentle transition for baby into the outside world. Our midwives are trained and experienced in supporting both water labor and water birth.
Choosing the tub doesn’t mean you’re committed to staying there. Sometimes it’s where a baby is born. Sometimes it’s where a mother finds her rhythm, gets enough relief to rest between contractions, or gathers energy for what comes next. You’re free to use it for five minutes, five hours, or not at all.
Water is simply another tool available to you. You don’t have to plan the perfect water birth. You just get to decide what feels right when you’re there.

A previous cesarean doesn’t automatically mean your next baby must be born by cesarean. For some women, VBAC is a reasonable option in an out-of-hospital setting when specific safety criteria are met.
If you’re considering VBAC at Jubilee, we’ll start by reviewing your health history, previous pregnancy and birth, and operative report. We’ll look at factors such as the type of uterine incision, reason for your previous cesarean, any complications you experienced, the time between pregnancies, and your current health and pregnancy. Not everyone will be a candidate for out-of-hospital VBAC, and that determination is something we take seriously.
We’ll also make space to talk about what happened last time. Maybe your cesarean was planned and exactly what you needed. Maybe it was unexpected, difficult, or left you with questions. Maybe you simply want something different this time. You don’t have to feel any particular way about your previous birth to explore your options for this one.
Throughout pregnancy, we’ll talk openly about the benefits and risks of both trial of labor after cesarean and repeat cesarean birth, what we watch for during labor, and the circumstances that would change our recommendation or require hospital care. Our goal isn’t to convince you to VBAC. It’s to make sure you understand your options and have the information you need to decide what is right for you and your baby.
A VBAC isn’t about proving anything or making up for a previous birth. It’s simply an option, and we’re here to help you carefully explore it.

At Jubilee, safety and physiologic birth are not competing priorities. Supporting normal birth well requires knowing what normal looks like, recognizing when something is changing, and knowing when to step in. Safety begins long before labor through careful screening and ongoing assessment. We care for healthy women with low-risk pregnancies and continually evaluate whether out-of-hospital birth remains a safe option for you and your baby.
Our birth team is trained to recognize and respond when something falls outside the range of normal. We maintain medications, oxygen, IV supplies, neonatal resuscitation equipment, and other emergency supplies needed when complications arise. Some concerns can be managed safely outside of the hospital; others indicate that it is time to seek a higher level of care.
Hospital transfer does not always mean emergency. Most transfers are thoughtful decisions made when you or your baby would benefit from resources available in the hospital. When time allows, we’ll explain what we’re seeing, why we recommend transferring, and what to expect next. We’ll communicate with the receiving team and remain part of your support system.
In a true emergency, we are trained to stabilize, provide emergency care within our scope, activate EMS, and facilitate transfer as quickly and safely as possible.
Choosing physiologic birth doesn’t mean ignoring risk. It means respecting normal while remaining prepared for the moments when you and your baby a skilled provider to step in.
priority #1: safety
Whether you give birth at Jubilee or in your own home, our care doesn’t end when your baby arrives. Those first days are a time for rest, recovery, feeding, and finding your footing as a family, and we’ll be there to care for both of you along the way. During the first week, we’ll visit you at home to monitor you and your baby, complete newborn screenings, answer questions, and provide feeding support. Postpartum and newborn care continue through six weeks.
And then, technically, you graduate. But we hope you don’t disappear. Jubilee is meant to be a place families return to for questions, education, support, and community. Birth may be what brings you through our doors, but we’re honored to remain part of your family’s story long after.

Feeding your baby is about more than nutrition, and while breastfeeding is natural, it doesn’t always come naturally. Our midwives provide individualized support with latch, positioning, milk transfer, pumping, supply concerns, supplementation, and other feeding challenges.
Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, supplementing, or formula feeding, we’ll meet you where you are. The goal isn’t to feed your baby the “right” way. It’s to help you and your baby find what works.

Sometimes you need reassurance, and sometimes you need help figuring out what just isn’t working. Our midwives provide individualized support with latch, positioning, milk transfer, pumping, supply concerns, supplementation, and other feeding challenges. We can also help identify concerns that may be affecting feeding and connect you with additional resources when needed.
Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, supplementing, formula feeding, or some combination of them all, we’ll meet you where you are. The goal isn’t to feed your baby the “right” way.

We want Jubilee to be a place you come back to long after your six-week visit. Our midwives are available for conversations about preconception, family planning, breastfeeding, and your menstrual cycle.
But “beyond” means more than appointments. We’re building a place for families to gather, learn, ask questions, and know one another. Think soup around the table, play dates, clothing swaps, fatherhood conversations, and panels. You don’t have to be pregnant to belong here.

We’re building a place for women and families to gather, learn, ask questions, and know one another. Think soup around the table, motherhood play dates, clothing swaps, conversations about fatherhood, panel discussions, and honest connection with other families who have been there. Jubilee may be a birth center, but we hope it becomes something bigger: a place for information, connection, and community through all the seasons that come after.
