There is a calculator on hmrc you can use to tell you when youre eligible and how much you can get for either of those things

You're 2? weeks pregnant?
And you want to stop working now?

Bear in mind that MA is considered unearned income, and deducted in full from UC, so you’ll get a lot less support if you need that at any point.

You can start your maternity leave around November

2 weeks pregnant…a few days late for your period?

maternity pay starts 11 weeks before your due date if you choose to finish work before then.

2 weeks pregnant? Have you done a test?

2 weeks!! How can you be sure. If your so tired I think you should go to your doctor before doing anything else

Is 2 weeks a typo?
