CubCare Online Antenatal Courses, Pregnancy Classes & Parenting Workshops
On-demand, expert-led support for birth, recovery and life with your baby
Antenatal education that goes deeper — evidence, movement, mindset and real-life preparation
At CubCare, we’re here to make your pregnancy and birth preparation more informed, more supported — and more your own.
We believe antenatal education should do more than explain what might happen. It should give you the tools to make confident, evidence-based decisions that are right for you and your baby.
That’s why our online antenatal courses combine hypnobirthing, active birth techniques, and practical education — helping you stay calm, in control, and prepared for whatever path your birth takes.
On-demand Active Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course
Prepare your body, your mind, and your birth plan — with confidence and clarity.
This is more than just a hypnobirthing course. The CubCare online Active Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course is a complete, on-demand programme to support you through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenting.
You’ll learn how to:
• Navigate antenatal appointments and the maternity system
• Understand your options and make confident, informed choices
• Prepare mentally and physically using hypnobirthing, breathwork and biomechanics
• Stay active and connected to your body in pregnancy and labour
• Support your recovery and early postnatal experience
• Begin your parenting journey with calm, clarity and confidence
We don’t believe birth just happens to you. We believe in giving you the tools to work with your body, understand what’s happening, and take control where it matters.
You’ll get step-by-step guidance on:
• Managing stress and staying centred
• Building a practical, flexible birth plan
• Understanding how movement, mindset and physiology all work together
• Preparing for life with your baby — feeding, recovery, bonding and beyond
All taught in a clear, honest, and supportive way — so you can prepare at your own pace, on your own terms, from anywhere.
On-demand Refresher Antenatal Course
Everything from the full antenatal course — with tailored support for your next birth.
If you’ve done this before, you don’t need less support — you need the right support.
The CubCare online Refresher Antenatal Course includes everything from the full Active Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course — birth physiology, hypnobirthing, active birth, decision-making, recovery and baby care — plus a full layer of support specific to second, third or later babies.
Whether your last birth was positive or difficult, this course helps you reflect on that experience and prepare for a new one — on your terms.
You’ll get:
• A full antenatal course including hypnobirthing, biomechanics, mindset and movement
• Space to reflect on your previous birth and process what worked or what didn’t
• Support for VBAC, repeat caesarean, induction, home birth or any other route
• Practical tools to prepare older siblings and plan for life with two or more
• Guidance on navigating appointments and shaping your care this time around
• Reassurance, confidence, and clarity for a smoother postnatal experience
This isn’t just a recap — it’s a chance to go deeper, with expert guidance and a flexible format that fits around family life.
On-demand Induction Mini Course
Understand the process. Know your choices. Prepare for a positive birth experience.
Facing an induction — or just want to be prepared in case the conversation comes up? This online, on-demand mini course is taken directly from our full antenatal course and gives you all the essential information you need, in one clear, accessible place.
You’ll learn:
• Why induction might be offered or recommended
• What happens during an induction — step-by-step
• The pros and cons of different methods
• How to advocate for your choices at every stage
• How to stay calm, informed and in control throughout the process
Whether your induction is booked, suggested, or just a possibility, this course helps you make decisions with confidence and clarity — not pressure or fear.
Watch anytime, at your own pace. Gain the knowledge to approach your birth with calm, understanding and power — even if plans change.
On-demand C-Section Mini Course
Understand the process. Know your options. Prepare for a smoother caesarean birth and recovery.
Whether you're planning a caesarean or simply want to be prepared for the possibility, this on-demand mini course gives you clear, compassionate and practical guidance — without overwhelm.
Taken directly from the CubCare full antenatal course, this mini course helps you:
• Understand the full caesarean birth process — planned or unplanned
• Learn what decisions you can make along the way
• Build a personalised c-section birth plan
• Know what to expect in the operating room and immediately after birth
• Feel more confident about recovery, pain management and bonding in the hours and days following surgery
With nearly 1 in 2 births ending in a caesarean (planned or emergency), being informed is one of the most powerful things you can do — even if you’re hoping for a vaginal birth.
You can complete the course at your own pace, revisit as needed, and feel better equipped to navigate any scenario with clarity and calm.
Everything in this mini course is also included in the full CubCare Antenatal Course, along with birth partner prep, baby care, active birth, hypnobirthing and more.
On-demand Grandparents Antenatal Course
Up-to-date, practical support for grandparents-to-be — so you can feel confident, helpful and connected as your family grows.
A lot has changed since you raised your own children — from how babies sleep, feed and play, to how new parents are supported (or not supported) in today’s world.
The CubCare Grandparents Antenatal Course gives you everything you need to understand modern parenting, avoid unhelpful myths, and offer meaningful support without overstepping.
Whether you’re going to be hands-on or simply want to be informed and helpful from a distance, this course covers:
• What’s changed in birth, infant feeding, sleep and postnatal recovery
• How to support your child and their partner as they become parents
• Boundaries, expectations and emotional wellbeing for everyone involved
• How to avoid accidental overstepping — and build stronger family relationships
• Grandparent roles in a modern parenting world: helpful vs overwhelming
• How to tune into what new parents actually need (it’s not always what you think)
This course is warm, inclusive and full of practical advice — designed to help you feel proud of your role and confident in what today’s parents are facing.
Watch at your own pace, revisit any time, and feel better prepared to welcome a new baby into the family — together.
On-demand Birth Partner Course
Everything a birth partner or parent-to-be needs to feel confident, calm and genuinely useful — before, during and after birth.
Being a birth partner is an incredible role — but it can also feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect or how to help.
The CubCare Birth Partner Course gives partners the tools, knowledge and confidence to offer real, responsive support during pregnancy, labour, birth and those early hours with your baby. This isn’t about just “being there” — it’s about knowing how to be there in a way that truly matters.
You’ll learn:
• What to expect during labour and how to stay grounded through it
• How to offer practical and emotional support during each stage of birth
• How to advocate clearly and calmly in maternity settings
• Birth partner roles in induction, caesarean birth, and unexpected change
• The importance of touch, movement, breath and presence - for both of you
• What happens after the birth — and how to support postnatal recovery and bonding
This course is available online and on-demand, so partners can watch in short bursts or all in one go — no awkward group settings or pressure to perform.
Everything in this course is also included in the full CubCare Antenatal Course, but this mini course is designed especially for birth partners who want to feel truly prepared, useful and involved.
Early Pregnancy and First Trimester Course
The first course of its kind — real support for the earliest weeks of pregnancy, when you need it most.
The first few weeks of pregnancy can feel exciting, overwhelming, isolating — or all three at once. You might be googling every symptom, unsure who to talk to, and wondering what’s “normal.” That’s exactly why this course exists.
The CubCare Early Pregnancy and First Trimester Course is the first of its kind — created to support you through the first trimester with calm, clear, evidence-based guidance.
You’ll get:
• Support for common first trimester symptoms — what’s normal and what’s not
• Guidance on early antenatal appointments, scans and blood tests
• Practical advice on food, movement and emotional wellbeing - setting you up for pregnancy
• A calm, realistic overview of what’s ahead in your pregnancy journey
• Mindset tools to manage overwhelm, fear and fatigue
• Breathwork and body awareness to help you feel grounded
• A whole module of navigating early pregnancy at work
• Reassurance that your experience — whatever it looks like — is valid and supported
This course is available online and on-demand, so partners can watch in short bursts or all in one go — no awkward group settings or pressure to perform.
This is the course you wish existed the moment you saw those two lines.
Start your pregnancy feeling informed, empowered and a little less alone.
MY APPROACH
It is your journey, your life and your decisions – let me help you find your way.
My unique approach takes the evidence for different pregnancy and parenting techniques to deliver a holistic overview so you can navigate the journey with confidence in yourself.
Every family is unique, and everybody’s parenting journey is individual. There is certainly no one size fits all.
I want you to feel confident and empowered welcoming your baby into the world and parenting them. I’ll help you link the birthing process to your body so you can understand how preparing in pregnancy can really help in the birthing room. And I'll help you understand how you can work with baby's development, and your own personal needs.
I offer evidence based education to allow you to make informed and confident decisions for your family.
My on-demand courses have been developed through extensive training and a decade of experience teaching antenatal, hypnobirthing and pregnancy yoga classes, to bring you the very best of birth preparation.
Each antenatal course combines body awareness with pregnancy yoga and pelvis biomechanics, mind and body connection with hypnobirthing and evidence based antenatal education.
I’ve done Jilly’s birthing class with both my babies and I can honestly say I would recommend the classes to everyone. Both my children were induced and I was still able to have the calm controlled birth that I’d hoped for. The knowledge and understanding you get of the labour process is so empowering and the breathing and relaxation is just amazing. Thank you Jilly!
- Meira, Antenatal Course and Pregnancy Yoga
Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all you taught myself and my partner in our classes! I honestly wouldn’t of been able to get through it without the breathing techniques we learnt! And we both felt so in control as we knew all the info and our options!! Thank you again!
- Emily, Antenatal Course and Pregnancy Yoga
Jilly, thank you so much for everything you taught during our Antenatal Course. It honestly made a huge difference to how positive my birth was. My partner was so supportive and prepared thanks to the parent classes. 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!!
