Early Pregnancy & First Trimester Course
Online, on-demand
Early pregnancy is overwhelming, under-supported, and invisible from the outside.
This is where your spiralling stops.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why does no one tell you about this bit?” — this is for you.
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, most people experience that.”
Or another late-night Google spiral.
What you need is context — what’s common, what needs checking, and what can wait.
And a simple structure so you know what actually matters this week — and what doesn’t.
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 every quiet 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.
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 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 scans.
To whatever Google says at 2am.
And that’s exhausting.
But the first trimester isn’t just something to survive. It shapes how you move through the rest of pregnancy.
How you rest.
How you respond to fear.
How steady you feel in appointments.
The patterns you build now matter.
The first trimester shapes more than you think.
How you rest now affects your energy later.
How you move now affects how your body feels at 28–34 weeks.
How you respond to fear now affects how you handle decisions in appointments.
Early pregnancy isn’t separate from what comes next.
It’s where your patterns start.
This course gives you structure from the beginning.
Clear explanations of what’s happening in your body.
What’s common and what needs checking.
And a simple weekly rhythm so you know what actually matters — and what doesn’t.
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 keep piecing this together from Google, TikTok, and pregnancy forums.
It’s £29.
One payment. Immediate access.
So instead of another late-night spiral, you have something solid to come back to.
What’s inside the First Trimester course
You get immediate access to every module — so you can go straight to the bit you need most.
Understanding symptoms
What’s common, what needs checking, and how to respond without spiralling — from cramps and discharge to nausea,
rib pain, ligament twinges, constant hunger or zero appetite.
Navigating early appointments
What happens when, what to ask, when to call the EPU, and 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.
Mental load + mindset
Managing the internal noise, panic, perfectionism, overwhelm, and guilt that take up way too much space
Practical early habits
Simple, repeatable adjustments that protect your energy and support your body now — without turning
pregnancy into a project.
Early planning (without jumping ahead)
What’s worth thinking about now — and what genuinely isn’t.
Quick tools + downloads
Symptom check sheets, appointment prep prompts, and simple trackers to keep everything in one place.
Everything is short, structured, and designed for tired brains — whether you’ve got five minutes on the sofa
or you’re awake at 2am.
Why I created this course
No one helped me either.
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 — managing even worse symptoms with a toddler and
I realised how little structured support exists 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 early parenthood.
This is the guide I wish I’d had.
Clear, evidence-based explanations of what’s happening — and practical ways to move through it without spiralling.
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 works well if these early weeks feel confusing and unsupported.
This is where we get grounded.
Right at the beginning.
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.
