It's called the [[http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/BenefitsTaxCreditsAndOtherSupport/Expectingorbring ingupchildren/HealthinPregnancyGrant/DG_173502 Health in Pregnancy grant].

Your midwife will give you the form but you can't claim til 25 weeks. Paid into bank account. MIne took about 3 weeks to come through.

Can't say I spent it on healthy eating though!!
