Coronavirus, self employed

[tsang1981]

Self employed, if no work then no money.
No maternity leave for self employed.
16 weeks pregnant, afraid of catching virus due to lower immune system when pregnant from my clients.
Frequency of visiting hospital for appointments as baby as high risk of Downs, Patau and Edwards.
I don't know whether to decide to stop working or not?

Thank you

And, specifically, Maternity Allowance: www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/maternity-allowance#how-much-is-maternity-allowance

I claimed this as a freelancer - it was fine. You even get keeping in touch days...

But this is from 26 weeks pregnant? I'm only 16 so 10 weeks to go before I can claim this
