What if things could be amazing?
Birth, and parenting ARE things we can feel prepared for, calm and confident about.
Do you want to feel calm, confident and fully prepared for your birth and early parenting journey?
Nobody can predict what will happen when you are in labour. But, you can face YOUR baby’s birth day with knowledge, and confidence. Feeling in control and with several pain-busting strategies under your belt. You can rock your birth and postnatal period, even if the going gets tough.
Do you want a fantastic understanding of your body and the way birth works?
Knowledge is power. Understanding how your body works and the things you can do to make your own experience better is so important. Too often, we're taught that birth is a process that happens that we have no control over - but there is SO much we can do to stack the cards in our favour. There is nobody better placed to understand your body than you.
Do you want to be confident and feel fully prepared for any eventuality?
When it comes to birth, recovery, baby's early days and getting used to the new family unit - anything could happen! But to learn what
could happen, and how to navigate these things with tools and strategies is the best way to prepare.
Do you want to build lasting connections with those with the same outlook as you?
You are the only person on your journey, but you know that a support network is vital. We work with compassion and celebrate unique journeys at CubCare. To build solid foundations of support in our community.
If you're nodding along then you're not alone...
But you can feel confident about the whole thing. And it all starts by understanding that all pregnancies, births, postnatal journeys and babies are different.
What happened to your friend, or your neighbour does not need to dictate your journey, and your birth. You can achieve an amazing, positive birth, on your terms. And when you have a positive birth, the early days of parenting are that much easier.
We'll take you through everything you need to know when preparing for a baby. How to keep any feelings of stress, anxiety or loss of control to a minimum! How to approach pregnancy with the end goal in mind, and how to navigate the maternity system to get your desired outcome.
The way your birth impacts your early parenting journey. It can take a while to find your confidence. Taking control of your own journey is so important.
Start your journey off confidently, having taken control of the controllables when it comes to pregnancy and birth.
That's why I am so excited to welcome you to...
Active Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course
The biggest transformations happen when we feel confident, prepared and in control. Taking things one step at a time and always keeping the end goal in mind.
There are certain things in this life that we can "wing" and get away with it, but birth and parenting works best with planning for all situations. These antenatal classes will guide you through the pregnancy journey. Helping you to plan for appointments, for your birth, for recovery and those early days of finding your feet with parenting!
Planning ahead is the key to managing life with children. And this course will help you to discover that there are many other useful tools and techniques that will help too! As well as leaning on those going through the same thing as you!
Our CubCare Antenatal Course takes place in Welwyn Hatfield for those in Welwyn, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, St Albans, Wheathampstead or Potters Bar areas.

What makes CubCare Antenatal Classes so special?
We believe in preparing body AND mind for birth
With every Antenatal Class booked, you will get 4 sessions of Pregnancy Yoga included in the price.
Having a body that isn't restricted, that can move, is so important for the birth journey. Keeping your body moving is vital for easing pregnancy discomfort, but knowing the right way to move is key.
Jilly is a pre and postnatal trained exercise instructor, pregnancy yoga teacher, hypnobirthing instructor AND antenatal teacher. Her decade of experience will help you to make the choices that are right for your body and your baby.
Client Feedback
“Adrian said that everything you taught in the Antenatal Course came in really handy. He knew the stages I was going through and he knew how to deal with me and help me through it.”
.
Rachel - Active Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course
“I felt completely in control for the entire 26 hour labour – I just felt so calm, the breaths were incredible and the consultant commented on how she couldn’t believe I’d refused an epidural. I felt confident enough to question and on occasion challenge recommendations of the midwives so that the birth ended up being as natural as possible! A very positive experience to look back on. Thank you!!”
.
Stephanie - Active Hypnobirthing Antenatal classes
“We were so glad we chose this course. Comprehensive without being too overwhelming, and really set us up to feel prepared and react calmly to the inevitable hiccups of birth and the first days with a new baby.”
Aki - Antenatal Course Welwyn Garden City
Hi, I'm Jilly and I'm your teacher...
I know the power of good antenatal education, I've been a hypnobirthing, active birth and antenatal teacher since 2014. I have created this course to incorporate the best there is to offer.
I came into this business after a difficult birth experience with my first, and wanted to find a different way for any future babies I had. The information I'd received at my NCT Antenatal Classes didn't prepare me for the realities of giving birth in the NHS. And I've discovered during the past 10 years that other popular antenatal courses also don't prepare you for the realities - they focus more on the social aspect, which I spend a lot of time focusing on after baby has been born.
I discovered through my training, how amazing it is to combine hypnobirthing and body mechanics science. Safe to say, my second birth experience was a world away from my first – and one I still smile about now, 8 years on! And what I didn't anticipate is how much better my postnatal and parenting experience was, because I'd had a birth where I felt in control.
What I learned is that when you do proper research ahead of time and put together a properly informed birth plan, when you understand the birth process and how to work with your body, when you have a whole bunch of tricks up your sleeve for coping with labour sensations…you can turn any birth journey into a positive one.
FAQs
Do I really need an antenatal course?
Your will remember your baby’s birth day for a very long time, and it will have a big impact on your early parenting journey. By accessing antenatal education you can learn about your choices and give you the best start to the journey.
I am planning a c-section birth is this class still worth it?
Yes absolutely! This course covers pregnancy, birth and also managing more than one baby through the 4th trimester. There are so many reasons why our antenatal classes are so important if you are planning another c-section. The course will give you tips on managing recovery, and will provide hints and tips for making life easier after a c-section. Depending on the reason why a caesarean might be the best option for you, there may be a chance that your baby has other ideas before the date. And our movement sessions will help towards a more comfortable pregnancy. So, having prepared for all eventualities you will be calmer and feeling more in control of the situation.
How is CubCare different from other antenatal courses in Welwyn Garden City?
Everything is taught by Jilly, a experienced antenatal and postnatal teacher. My training has been centred around teaching clients about birth, and I'm not a midwife so I don't have to abide by NHS policies. This allows me to teach you in a completely balanced way, putting your needs ahead of the system.
Is this useful for birth partners to learn about everything?
There's a whole section for birth partners, giving them their own tips for birth, the different stages, things to look out for, getting them used to the breathing techniques and most importantly giving them practical tips to help you in pregnancy, during birth and in the postnatal days too!
What happens after I book?
On our booking thank you page you'll get a link to complete a short form to include some more information about you. You'll also get an email immediately letting you know how to book your pregnancy yoga classes and access our digital course. You'll have immediate access to our digital on-demand course with access for 12 months from purchase. I'll be in contact through email with all the venue and class information you need and a link to your group's WhatsApp group.
Why don't you include a social session?
Do you need to pay a company to meet up with your group? No.
You pay me to deliver education that will make your pregnancy, birth and recovery that little bit easier. There is time in class to check-in and get to know everyone, but my support doesn't end after the course either. I run baby classes from newborn through to age 3 - so I really am all about community. I strongly encourage you to meet up with your group, and use the WhatsApp group. And I will arrange a postnatal session for you all after the babies have arrived.
What happens if I miss a class?
Our digital on-demand course will cover everything you need to know and I will direct you to the bits that were covered in your missed class.
We can have an extra catch up at the beginning or end of the next session if you have any questions.
Are these classes similar to NCT, Bump and Baby Club or Happy Parents Happy Baby?
Do you need to pay a company to meet up with your group? No.
In short, no. On the face of it? Yes. Our Antenatal Course offers so much more than any alternative provider – most commonly the NCT or Bump and Baby Club. Our CubCare Active Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course has been developed from 10 years experience in the field. I am experienced in antenatal education, movement education, postnatal education and babywearing education. I draw upon my experience and strengths to provide clients with tools and techniques they will be able to use pre labour, during labour and after birth. We cover, in real depth, hypnobirthing, active birth, and more medical aspects of birth too. Nothing is an afterthought or an add on. A CubCare Antenatal Course will make sure you know everything there is to know. Our course hours are actual taught hours. And I believe that your time is valuable and your money should be spent on education and empowerment. Although I can promise good snacks and time to form bonds and friendships! There is ongoing support from Jilly (not a faceless person from the customer service department). And I have full, local NHS service knowledge. I work closely with local midwives and the NHS Maternity service at both Lister and Barnet hospitals.
