Here's a calculator for maternity pay entitlement
www.gov.uk/calculate-your-maternity-pay

If this is your first baby and you're on benefits you can get £500 one off to help you buy things to prepare

You can Lso get the child tax credit

I think the job centre can give more advice over the phone.

I had just finished uni when I fell pregnant, had a time off work that was planned as a holiday period but then couldn't find a job/got spd and ended up working very little during pregnancy. From 29 weeks been on income support, that carries on till baby is 15 weeks then I get moved to job seekers and need to work again. Whether you get income support would depend on your partners income though as well.
