Early Pregnancy & First Trimester Course
Online, on-demand
Early pregnancy is overwhelming, under-supported, and totally invisible — this course changes that.
If you’ve ever felt like the first trimester should come with a survival guide — this is it.
You’re exhausted. Your body’s changing fast. Every day brings a new symptom to understand and deal with.
You’re stuck between:
“it’s too early to tell anyone”
and
“I’m already drowning, I need to tell the world so I can get some help – and sympathy.”
And instead of support? You get silence, guesswork, or a brush-off.
Let's fix that.
You’re not imagining it.
This part of early pregnancy is hard — and wildly under-supported.
You’re Googling at 3am, wondering if that weird twinge is serious.
You're in the middle of the longest hangover of your life – and you didn't even get to enjoy the fun night out.
You can’t focus at work, you've memorised the location and sound safety of every toilet in the building – but you’re pretending everything’s normal.
You feel full after 5 bites, but also constantly starving.
You’re crying because your sandwich fell apart (again).
You want to feel grateful… but mostly, you just feel awful.
This is what early pregnancy is really like — and you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
This course exists because no one helped me either – and I'm tired of seeing clients feel like the First Trimester hit them like a hangover from a party they weren’t even invited to.
I’m Jilly Clarke — perinatal educator (antenatal and postnatal period), doula, hypnobirthing and pregnancy yoga teacher, and founder of CubCare.
I’ve supported thousands of families through pregnancy and parenting.
But when I was pregnant for the first time, I didn’t know how to cope in those first few weeks.
I wasn’t sure what was normal. Or who to ask.
I just knew I felt rough, unsure, and completely alone.
And the second time — navigating even worse symptoms with an energetic toddler... woah.
So I built the support I wish I’d had.
A clear, evidence-based guide to what’s happening, how to soothe it, and why it matters for the rest of pregnancy and beyond.
What’s inside the First Trimester course
You’ll get immediate access to every module and video — so you can go straight to the bit you need most.
🧠 Understanding symptoms
What’s normal, what’s not, and how to actually soothe the stuff no one talks about
(like rib pain, ligament twinges, constant hunger, or zero appetite)
🩺 Navigating early appointments
What happens when, how to ask for what you need, and how to handle confusing advice or unexpected results
- and how to carry that into the rest of your pregnancy
💭 Mental load + mindset
Managing the internal noise, perfectionism, panic, overwhelm, and guilt that take up way too much space
🪴 Building a solid foundation
Tiny tweaks that protect your energy, support your nervous system, and set the tone for a better birth
and postnatal experience later on
🧾 Planning + preparation
Start early with the stuff that actually makes a difference — even if you’re not ready to think about the birth just yet
📄 Quick tools + downloads
Easy symptom trackers, appointment prep sheets, and editable checklists to help you feel more in control
Everything’s designed to be short, watchable, and genuinely helpful — whether you’ve got 5 minutes on the sofa or 2am insomnia.
Instant access for just £29
You don’t need to wait until 20+ weeks for support.
You don’t need to “suck it up” until your booking appointment.
You don’t need to struggle through the first trimester alone.
This course gives you the guidance, clarity and reassurance you deserve — right from the very beginning.
And it’s intentionally low-cost, so you can get the support you need without weighing it up for the next 7 days.
It'll save you going down a TikTok rabbit hole or dragging your brain through another pregnancy forum...
You're not imagining it — the first trimester is HARD.
You’ve probably Googled more in the last 10 days than in the rest of your life combined.
You’ve probably wondered why it feels this bad when no one else seems to be talking about it.
You might even be panicking about how to make it through the next 6 weeks, let alone the next 6 months.
You don’t need more noise. You need solid ground.
The first trimester shapes everything that follows.
How you feel now affects how you rest, eat, move, and think later on.
The habits you build now set the tone for birth and recovery.
The confidence you grow now becomes the foundation you’ll lean on in the second and third trimesters.
This course is the first step in CubCare support
When you're ready for more, I'll be here to guide you through every next step too — from antenatal prep to babywearing, feeding, postnatal recovery and beyond.
For now?
Let’s make these early weeks better.
Client Feedback
I was five weeks pregnant, exhausted, anxious, and convinced I was doing everything wrong. This course was the first thing that made me feel like I wasn’t alone. It explained what I was feeling and what to do about it — without being patronising or vague."
.
Amelia - First time IVF pregnancy
I’d been googling every symptom, panicking about what I could and couldn’t eat, and dreading my first appointment. This course made things clearer, more manageable, and actually gave me the confidence to ask better questions at my booking appointment."
.
Sara - working full time and pregnant
I’ve had a baby before, but I still felt completely thrown by the first trimester again. This course felt like a reset — it helped me tune back in, feel more in control, and start this pregnancy from a stronger place. Short videos, straight-talking advice, and so much reassurance."
Holly - second time parent
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.
