Early Pregnancy & First Trimester Course
Online, on-demand
The expert-led first trimester antenatal course that answers the questions you’re already Googling
Clear, evidence-based support to help you feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
You're not just "newly pregnant."
Whether you’re counting the days until your first scan, navigating symptoms in silence, or wondering if everything you feel is “normal” — you deserve more than vague advice and endless scrolling.
You’re already doing something extraordinary.
And in a system that waits until much later to offer any support, this course meets you at the very beginning — with the guidance, reassurance and practical tools you’ve been looking for.
Because the first trimester isn’t a waiting room.
It’s the foundation of your pregnancy journey — and you deserve support from the start.
You’re in the right place if:
• You’ve just found out you’re pregnant — and you’re already juggling questions, symptoms and uncertainty
• You’re trying to figure out what’s normal, what to expect, and what actually matters right now
• You know this is just the beginning — and you want to start your pregnancy feeling informed, confident and a little more steady
It starts with understanding that early pregnancy sets the bar for the entire journey.
Because the first trimester doesn’t just bring physical symptoms — it’s a mental, emotional and logistical shift.
You’re adjusting to a new reality while juggling questions, symptoms, decisions and expectations — often without much support from the system around you.
Modern pregnancy comes with your current responsibilities, and then endless information, fast-changing guidelines, and pressure to “do it right” from the moment you see those two lines.
That can feel overwhelming, especially when the early weeks are still so private — and full of uncertainty.
But imagine having a place that explains why things feel the way they do.
A first trimester course that offers real guidance, practical tools and grounded reassurance — so you can navigate early pregnancy with more clarity, confidence and self-trust.
When you’re supported from the start:
• You feel more in control
• You understand your body and your choices
• You lay the foundation for a stronger, more pro-active pregnancy
Because the way we start matters — and this is your starting line.
You’re growing a whole new life, and holding it quietly inside you while the world carries on as if nothing’s changed.
You’re tracking symptoms, counting days, waking up before dawn with a racing mind and a dozen browser tabs open.
You’ve tried the ginger, the peppermint, the “just relax.”
You’ve scrolled the forums, saved the reels, and wondered if it’s normal to feel this exhausted, this emotional, this uncertain.
And still — nothing quite answers the questions you’re really asking:
Is this okay?
Am I doing this right?
Why does no one talk about how hard this bit is?
This is the support you should’ve been offered from the moment you found out.
Not just survival for the first twelve weeks — but education that lays the groundwork for birth preparation, informed choices, and early parenting confidence.
Not just answers for now — but a head start on everything that comes next.
Because the first trimester isn’t a pause or a placeholder.
It’s the start of your story — and it matters.
That's why I am so excited to welcome you to...

What makes the CubCare First Trimester Course so special?
It fills the gap no one talks about — the quiet, uncertain space at the very start of pregnancy.
Most antenatal courses start later on. CubCare starts now — giving you practical tools, emotional support and evidence-based guidance from the moment you find out you're pregnant.
You won’t just learn what symptoms to expect or what your scan might show. You’ll understand how to manage early appointments, navigate workplace conversations, protect your wellbeing, and start building the knowledge that will carry you through birth and parenting.
It offers the kind of early pregnancy support you should have — clear, evidence-based guidance from someone who’s supported thousands of families through pregnancy, birth and beyond. You won’t just learn what’s happening, but why it matters, and how to lay a strong foundation for the rest of your journey.
This course gives you real guidance from the very beginning — covering symptoms, scans, appointments, food, movement, emotional wellbeing, and what to expect next.
And the price? It’s intentionally low.
Because everyone deserves access to quality support in early pregnancy — not just those who can afford a premium course later on.
Because this part matters just as much too.
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
Hi, I'm Jilly and I'm your teacher...
I’ve been an antenatal educator, hypnobirthing instructor and doula since 2014 — and I created this course because I remember what the first trimester felt like.
I remember dragging myself through the day feeling constantly sick, head pounding, body aching, wondering if it was all in my head — and then feeling guilty for not being more excited. I remember googling everything at 2am, trying to find answers that would calm the rising anxiety in my chest.
There was so much I didn’t know. And barely anyone to ask.
The first trimester is full of symptoms that are hard to explain — and feelings that are even harder.
Maybe you’re throwing up on train platforms on your commute. Maybe you’ve got hyperemesis and simply can't leave your home. Maybe you feel anxious and disconnected and don’t know what’s normal anymore.
Anxiety can creep in for so many reasons. Previous loss. A tough conception journey. Or simply because this is all so new, and the support hasn’t kicked in yet.
But I also know this: when you do feel supported — when you start to understand what’s happening in your body, what’s coming next, and what you actually need — that confidence grows.
And it doesn’t just help you now.
It carries through the whole of pregnancy. Into birth. Into parenting.
That’s why I made this course: so you don’t have to do the hardest bit without the right support.
Because the first trimester matters. And you matter in it.
