pregnant and a student

Hi, I've been a single mum for the past three years and as of september I became a full time nursing student. I have just found out that I'm pregnant with someone i've been in a relationship with for the past nine months. I'm hoping to defer my place for a year and move in with my partner. I currently receive a student bursary, child tax credit, child benefit and help with my housing benefit.
Does anyone have any idea about what if anything I can claim in regards to maternity allowance?
Thank you in advance

You can only claim MA if you have worked in 13 weeks in the 66 weeks prior to the birth. Your student income doesn't count.

Have you been doing any paid work?
