You’ve given birth before – but every birth is different
Whether you had a positive experience or one you’d like to handle differently this time, the right preparation can make a huge difference.
This award-winning online refresher antenatal course helps you:
Refresh your antenatal knowledge or explore a completely new approach to birth.
Learn practical techniques for a calmer, more positive experience – whatever type of birth you’re planning.
Prepare for the postnatal period with more than one child, including how to juggle recovery, feeding and early parenting alongside older siblings.
Created specifically for parents expecting their second (or third… or fourth!) baby, this course gives you the confidence to approach birth and parenting again – this time with even more knowledge, tools and support.
Is this you?
You know you deserve more than the system can provide.
You know you deserve more than the standard system can provide – especially second (or third!) time around.
• You want a different birth experience to last time – or to feel even more prepared if your first birth was positive.
• You’re ready to learn new techniques to make this birth and your recovery smoother.
• You’re already thinking about how to juggle life with a newborn and an older child – and want practical ways to cope.
• You want the transition to feel easier for your eldest – and for you.
This award-winning online refresher antenatal course gives you evidence-based tools, active hypnobirthing techniques and practical parenting strategies to help you feel confident, calm and prepared for life with more than one child.
What if this birth – and life with two – could feel amazing?
Imagine approaching this birth with complete trust in yourself – knowing that what happened last time doesn’t have to define this journey, this birth, or this recovery.
Picture yourself feeling calm and prepared, fully understanding your options, trusting your body and knowing how to work with it. Birth isn’t something that just happens to you – it’s something you can actively influence, with the right tools and knowledge.
Now imagine holding your newborn and introducing them to their big brother or sister – feeling proud, empowered and ready to embrace life as a parent of more than one. You’ll have plans in place to handle any tricky hurdles and the confidence to recover well, settle into parenting again and make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone.
This is what the award-winning CubCare Online Refresher Antenatal Course is designed to help you achieve.
You already know how much birth shapes the early days – but this time can feel different
You know from experience that the way you birth impacts everything that follows – your recovery, your confidence, even how those first days with your baby feel.
And while you can’t control every twist and turn, you can influence so much more than you might think.
What happened with your previous birth doesn’t have to dictate this birth or this recovery. With the right preparation, you can approach this journey differently – calmer, more informed and on your terms.
And when birth feels positive, those early days of parenting are so much easier to navigate.
This award-winning online refresher antenatal course takes you through everything you need to feel prepared for another baby:
What’s changed since your last birth – from updated guidelines to new techniques.
How to approach this birth differently, with practical tools for labour, recovery and postnatal healing.
Real-life parenting strategies for those moments when one child is crying and the other is having a tantrum.
It might feel overwhelming right now – pregnancy seems to fly by faster second time around – but you’ve done this before, and you’ve already proven you can adapt.
With the right knowledge and tools, you’ll give yourself the best possible chance to feel confident, prepared and supported for pregnancy, birth and those postnatal days with more than one child.
Which is why I am so excited to introduce...
The Award-Winning Online Refresher Antenatal Course
The biggest transformations happen when you feel confident, prepared and in control – taking things one step at a time and always keeping the end goal in mind.

You’ll learn how to:
Plan for appointments, birth and recovery with your second (or third!) baby.

Use practical tools and techniques to make birth more comfortable, recovery smoother and the transition easier for everyone.
Planning ahead is the key to feeling calm and in control – and this course will show you just how many simple, effective ways there are to make life with two (or more) children feel more manageable.

Client Feedback
We had a successful home birth on Sunday (born on baby’s due date!), which was a good thing as it was only 1.5hrs of established labour!
Big brother can say her name, and sometimes is quite affectionate toward her, but other times says “no baby” and tries to push her away – it’s early days!

Amanda - Online Refresher Antenatal Course
This labour was SO much better than the first. Your refresher antenatal course helped so much for the labour, it was much calmer than the first and much more controlled. The breathing techniques were so helpful – I breathed her out!

Sarah - Online Refresher Antenatal Course
“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.”
Aki - CubCare client
Hi, I'm Jilly and I'm your teacher...
I’ve been teaching hypnobirthing, active birth and antenatal education since 2014 – but like many parents, my journey started with my own birth experiences.
My first birth was difficult, and I quickly learned that the standard antenatal education doesn’t always prepare you for the realities of giving birth in the NHS.
Through years of training, I discovered how powerful it is to combine hypnobirthing techniques with biomechanics and real-world medical insight – and my second birth was completely different. It was calmer, more in control and a genuinely positive experience I still smile about 9 years later.
What surprised me most was how much smoother my postnatal recovery and early parenting felt, simply because I’d been better prepared and felt in control. And that’s exactly why I created this award-winning online refresher antenatal course – to help experienced parents feel more confident, better supported and ready for life with more than one child.
Whether you’re hoping for a different birth experience this time, or you just want to feel calmer and more organised as you juggle pregnancy, birth and parenting again, this course will guide you every step of the way.
FAQs
Do I really need antenatal classes for my second baby?
Many parents are surprised how much changes between pregnancies – from updated guidelines to new techniques that can make pregnancy, birth and recovery easier. This award-winning online refresher antenatal course is designed specifically for parents expecting their second (or beyond) baby, giving you practical tools, updated knowledge and parenting strategies for life with more than one child.
I am planning a c-section birth is this class still worth it?
Yes – absolutely. The course includes specific guidance for planned and repeat caesareans, including how to prepare your body for surgery, what to expect if labour starts before your planned date, and how to support smoother postnatal recovery while juggling older children.
I’m not based in the UK – is this course still useful?
Yes. While UK maternity system details are included, the techniques, active hypnobirthing, biomechanics, sibling-preparation tips and postnatal strategies are universal and trusted by parents worldwide.
Is this course useful for birth partners?
Yes – and highly recommended. There’s a whole module dedicated to birth partners, plus practical tips throughout the course on how they can support you physically and emotionally – and adjust to life as a parent of more than one child.
How long do I get access to this course?
You get lifetime access once you join, so you can revisit modules anytime – whether you’re preparing for this birth or refreshing for future pregnancies.
When should I start this course?
You can start at any time, but most parents begin between 14-25 weeks of pregnancy but it's never too late. The earlier you begin, the more time you have to practise techniques, prepare your older child(ren) for the new arrival and plan for postnatal recovery.
What topics are included in this course?
The course covers everything you need to prepare for a second (or beyond) birth, including:
Different pregnancy, different baby – what’s changed since last time
Active hypnobirthing & biomechanics techniques
Labour & birth (vaginal, VBAC, caesarean, induction)
Postnatal recovery & fourth trimester
Preparing your children for a new baby
Parenting strategies for juggling life with more than one child
Can an online refresher antenatal course really prepare me as well as in-person classes?
Yes – and it’s filling a much-needed gap. There’s a huge lack of antenatal classes designed specifically for second and subsequent time parents, which means most in-person options focus on first-time basics.
This award-winning online refresher antenatal course was created to meet that need – combining the same expert-led education taught in CubCare’s in-person classes with bite-sized videos, movement sessions, sibling-preparation modules and downloadable guides. And because it’s online, you can revisit lessons as often as you need, making it even more practical than traditional one-off classes.
