Allowance while pregnant

[Kafryne]

I was wondering what allowance while being pregnant someone can get. I know maternity allowance, sure start grant, universal credit... but we're only eligible for UC some months depending on my partner wages. So was wondering what else I might miss that I could claim

Child benefit

Oops, you need to wait until the baby is born before you get child benefit

Check on the entitledto website?

No extra benefits until the baby is born apart from maybe the surestart maternity grant if you claim eligible benefits.

If your partner earns a good enough wage to not even qualify for Uc some months, I'm not sure there would be anything until the baby is born.
