Post subject: hi, you will be entitled to child benefit and child tax credits when your baby is born, they roughly equate to about £65 i think, im not sure about how working tax credits works when you are on maternity leave
 unless you are planning to give up work completely after baby born then you will be entitled to income support.. which i think is about £120 a fortnight.
you may also get help with rent, council tax... amonunt depends on how much you are earning. dont forget your healthy pregnancy grant from 25 weeks £190, if you do give up work and claim income support then you are also entitled to a £500 sure start maternity grant which you can claim from 29weeks - baby 3 months. i hope this helps  xXx_________________
