Early Pregnancy & First Trimester Antenatal Course (4-13 weeks)
Online, on-demand
Early pregnancy is overwhelming, under-supported, and invisible from the outside.
You might not look pregnant yet — but your body is already working harder than it ever has before.
You’re exhausted in a way that doesn’t make sense yet.
Your symptoms change and your brain immediately tries to interpret them.
You’re checking for blood every time you go to the toilet.
You’re counting down to a scan that feels like the only thing that will make this real.
Except the symptoms are already real,
and they’re affecting your work, your sleep, your patience, your ability to function normally.
You’re stuck between:
“It’s too early to tell anyone.” and “I’m already struggling and I need support.”
And instead of guidance, you get:
A short NHS leaflet.
A vague “that’s very normal.”
Or another late-night Google spiral.
If you’ve landed here after Googling symptoms or trying to piece things together, you can start with the First Trimester Hub — a structured breakdown of what’s happening week by week.
What this course actually gives you
This is an online, on-demand early pregnancy course for weeks 4–13 of pregnancy.
It shows you:
what’s happening in your body — so symptoms stop feeling random
what’s common vs what needs checking — so you’re not second-guessing everything
what to do each week — so you’re not constantly reacting
But more than that — it gives you ways to feel better in it.
How to take the edge off nausea so you can get through the day
How to move when your body feels tight, heavy or uncomfortable
How to adjust your day so you’re not constantly wiped out by 2pm
What actually helps when your brain won’t switch off
Small, practical shifts that change how this feels — not just how you understand it.
You’re not imagining it
This part of early pregnancy is hard — and it’s largely unsupported.
You’re Googling at 3am, wondering if that weird twinge is serious.
You feel like you’re in the longest hangover of your life — without the night out.
You can’t focus at work.
You feel full after a few bites, but also constantly starving.
You’re crying over something small and then questioning yourself straight after.
You want to feel grateful… but mostly, you just feel awful.
And you’re doing it quietly.
You’ve probably Googled more in the last 10 days than in the last year.
You’ve wondered why it feels this bad when no one really talks about it.
You might be thinking:
“How am I going to get through the next six weeks?”
Right now, you’re navigating this by reacting.
To symptoms.
To worries.
To whatever Google says at 2am.
And that’s exhausting.
This is where things start to change
The first trimester isn’t just something to get through.
It’s where your patterns start.
How you respond now shows up later:
in how quickly your body goes into tension when something feels uncertain
in how easily your thoughts spiral when symptoms change
in how steady (or not) you feel when decisions are put in front of you
This isn’t about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about having something solid to come back to — so you’re not constantly on edge.
This is the point where you stop guessing
£29.
One payment. Immediate access. On-going support.
No waiting. No drip-feeding. No trying to piece this together across ten different tabs.
So instead of:
another 2am Google spiral
another “is this normal?” loop
another day of trying to push through and hope it settles
you have something clear to come back to.
What’s inside the First Trimester course
You get access to everything straight away — so you can go straight to what you need.
Understanding symptoms without spiralling
Clear explanations of:
cramps, spotting, nausea, dizziness, fatigue
what’s expected vs what needs checking
what to actually do when something changes
So you’re not interpreting every new sensation in isolation.
For example — instead of just being told nausea is normal, you’ll understand:
why it’s happening
what makes it worse
and what actually takes the edge off enough to function
Navigating early appointments so you can go in prepared
What happens when, what to ask, and when to call.
Including:
booking appointments
early pregnancy units
how to handle unclear or conflicting advice
How to ask for what you need, and how to carry that into the rest of your pregnancy.
So you feel prepared — not caught off guard.
The mental load, and how to stop it taking over
What to do when:
your brain keeps scanning for problems
you can’t switch off
everything starts to feel like a decision
So you’re not carrying all of this on your own.
Practical early habits that actually make a difference
Simple, repeatable adjustments that:
ease nausea enough to function
reduce that heavy, wiped-out feeling
take pressure off your body when everything feels tight or uncomfortable
Including:
how to move when you don’t feel like moving — but need to feel better
small changes that support energy without forcing it
ways to work with your body instead of pushing through
So you’re not just getting through the day — you’re managing it.
Early planning (without jumping ahead)
What’s worth thinking about now.
And what genuinely isn’t.
So you’re not overwhelmed by everything all at once.
Tools you can actually use
Symptom check sheets.
Appointment prep prompts.
Simple trackers.
So everything isn’t just sitting in your head.
This isn’t just information.
You’ll have things you can do the same day — small changes that make symptoms more manageable, help your body feel less heavy, and give you a bit more space to cope.
Why I created this course
No one talks about how intense early pregnancy can feel — especially when you’re still trying to function normally.
When I was pregnant for the first time, I didn’t know what was normal.
I didn’t know who to ask.
I just knew I felt rough, unsure, and largely on my own.
The second time — with worse symptoms, and a toddler — it was even clearer that there's a huge gap in support.
There’s very little structured support in those early weeks.
I’m Jilly — perinatal educator, doula, hypnobirthing and pregnancy yoga teacher, and founder of CubCare.
I’ve supported thousands of families through pregnancy and birth.
And the same pattern comes up again and again:
Early pregnancy is where people feel the most unsure — and get the least support.
This course is what I wish I’d had.
Clear explanations.
Practical support.
Someone talking it through step-by-step so that pregnancy doesn't feel overwhelming.
Something to come back to when everything feels uncertain.
The First Trimester Course is the starting point for
everything else I teach.
There’s space later for antenatal education, birth preparation, feeding, babywearing and recovery.
But none of that lands properly if these early weeks feel confusing and unsupported.
This is where we get steady.
Right at the beginning.
You don’t need to wait for your booking appointment to feel supported.
And you don’t need to keep working this out on your own.
Client Feedback
I was five weeks pregnant and honestly not coping very well. I was exhausted, anxious, and convinced I was doing something wrong. This was the first thing that made me feel less alone. It didn’t just explain what was happening — it told me what to actually do about it, without being patronising or vague.”

Amelia - First time IVF pregnancy
I was googling every symptom and completely spiralling. I didn’t even know what to ask at my first appointment. This course made things feel calmer straight away — I went in prepared instead of panicked.”
.
Sara - working full time and pregnant
I’ve had a baby before, but the first trimester still completely threw me. I thought it would be easier the second time, but it wasn’t. This felt like someone walking me through it. Short, straight-talking advice that helped me stop overthinking everything and feel more in control again."

FAQs
Is this course just for first-time pregnancies?
Nope. Whether it’s baby #1 or baby #5, early pregnancy can feel rough. This course supports anyone in their first trimester.
When should I take the course?
As soon as you know you're pregnant. Most people join between weeks 4–10, but it's helpful at any stage of the first trimester.
Is it still useful if I’ve got medical complications or a high-risk pregnancy?
Yes. The course is designed to support all types of pregnancies — including those with complications, chronic conditions, or if you’re planning a caesarean.
Does it include hypnobirthing or full antenatal classes?
No — this course focuses on early pregnancy. When you're ready for antenatal or hypnobirthing support, you'll know exactly what to do next, because we've got you.
How long do I get access for?
A full year. So even if you’re shattered right now, you can come back to it when you’ve got more energy.
What if I’ve already had a baby? Won’t I know this stuff?
Second (or third) pregnancies can feel completely different. This time, you get support from day one. This is doula support from the beginning.
Is this still helpful if I’m planning a C-section?
Absolutely. The first trimester shapes your whole experience — no matter how you give birth.
How is this different to online forums or TikTok advice?
This isn’t crowdsourced guesses or personal opinion. It’s expert-led, practical, and designed to actually help — not just distract you at 3am.
