Caesarean Antenatal Course Online

The on-demand C-section mini antenatal course

Make your caesarean a positive, empowered, prepared experience


If you're preparing for a C‑section (or want to feel ready just in case), this mini-course gives you everything you need — from mindset and movement during pregnancy, to the minute-by-minute birth experience, to recovery and scar healing. Feel empowered by clarity, connection, and actionable insight.

Is this for you?

• Do you want to feel calm, informed, and supported around your C‑section — whether it's scheduled or spontaneous?


• Would you like to understand exactly what happens — from pre-op appointments to leaving hospital — in clear, honest detail?


• Are you committed to preparing mind, body, and partner — so you can feel stronger, more connected, and ready for whatever comes?


• Do you want practical support for recovery — from feeding after surgery, walking safely, to scar care and emotional wellbeing?

What if your C-section didn’t feel like a compromise… but a powerful part of your story?

Whether you're planning for a caesarean or simply want to be ready for whatever your birth brings — you deserve more than generic advice and vague reassurance that's offered elsewhere.


You deserve calm clarity, grounded preparation, and deep trust in your body.

This course isn’t just about what happens in theatre.

It’s about helping you feel present, connected, and in control — throughout pregnancy and in a medical setting.

Do you want proven tools that support your body, birth and recovery?

Nobody can predict what will happen. But, you CAN face baby’s birth day with knowledge, 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.

No one can predict exactly how birth will unfold. But you can be prepared.

If your birth plan shifts — or you're worried you might be told “we need to talk about a caesarean” — this course means you’ll never feel caught off guard.

You’ll know what questions to ask.

You’ll understand your options.

You’ll feel more calm, more in control, and more connected — to yourself, your partner, and your baby.

Want to feel confident now, and in every future pregnancy?

This isn’t just about one day.

It’s about setting you up with knowledge that lasts.

When you understand how your body works — and how to support it physically and emotionally — you carry that insight forward into future births, recoveries, and decisions.

Because birth doesn’t just shape the start of your baby’s life.

It can shape how you see yourself for years to come.

Let’s make that foundation strong.

If you're nodding along then you're not alone...

You might feel calm one moment, overwhelmed the next.

You might be grieving a birth you hoped for or feeling relieved that a plan is finally in place.

Because preparing for a caesarean isn’t just about knowing what happens.

It’s about feeling steady. Knowing your voice matters.

Understanding your body, your options, and the many ways you can still shape this experience to feel personal, powerful and connected.

When you feel physically, practically and emotionally prepared, you walk into theatre with a sense of calm and clarity that changes everything.

You know what to ask for. You know what matters to you.

And you know that this birth belongs to you.

Let’s help you meet it feeling grounded, informed and confident.

Because birth doesn’t have to be something that happens to you.

It can be something you move through — fully supported, fully aware, and fully present.

Caesarean mini Antenatal Course

Birth doesn't always go to plan.

But that doesn't mean you can't feel calm, confident, and fully prepared.

This course has been carefully created to help you plan for a caesarean birth — whether it’s your first choice, a medical recommendation, or simply something you want to be ready for just in case.

Because birth works best when you’re informed.

When you know what your options are.

When you feel in control — even if the plan shifts.

This on-demand, online course walks you through every stage of the journey with a caesarean in mind:

• From preparing for appointments and understanding your birth options

• To knowing exactly what happens during a planned or unplanned C-section

• To learning how to support your body physically, emotionally, and practically for recovery

• And getting to grips with those first postnatal days — feeding, moving, bonding, and finding your confidence.

You don’t need to “just go with the flow” of the system.

You deserve to feel empowered.

To make informed decisions.

To feel like this birth is still yours.

And with the right support — you can.

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.”

Hi, I'm Jilly — your guide through this course

I’m a doula, antenatal educator, and hypnobirthing teacher — and I created this course to offer the kind of preparation I wish I’d had before my own first birth.

After a traumatic birth experience and a second that felt worlds apart, I realised how much better things go when you feel informed, in control, and fully supported — even in a caesarean.

I’ve been teaching since 2014 and supporting hundreds of families through all types of birth.

This course brings together the best of what I teach in person — evidence-based guidance, honest insights, and practical tools — all designed to help you feel confident about your caesarean and what comes next.

Because this isn’t just about surgery. It’s about your birth — and how it sets the tone for your early parenting journey.

FAQs

Is the C-section course available online, and can I access it at any time?

Yes, the course is entirely online and on-demand, allowing you to complete it at your own pace, whenever it’s convenient. It is designed into small sections so its easy to dip in and out when time allows.

How long does it take to complete the C-section course?

The course is designed to be flexible and can typically be completed within 2–3 hours, though you can spread it out over multiple sessions. There are some recommended movement and relaxation elements that are designed to be done daily if possible - but simple techniques that would take 5-10 minutes and are really helpful to ease discomfort and aid relaxation and sleep.

Who delivers the course?

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?

You'll have immediate access to our digital on-demand course with access for 12 months from purchase. You’ll have 12 months ongoing access to downloadable resources, including checklists, recovery tips, and guidance on caring for your newborn after a C-section.

What topics are covered in the C-section online course?

The course includes detailed information on C-section preparation, what to expect during the procedure, recovery tips, emotional support, and newborn care post-surgery.

Is there any interaction with instructors or other participants?

While the course is on-demand, there are opportunities for Q&A with CubCare experts through scheduled virtual consultations or group forums.

How soon should I take the course during my pregnancy?

It’s recommended to take the course during your second or third trimester, but you can start anytime that feels right for you to feel prepared for a C-section.
