This may have been posted before and perhaps I'm the last to know but the goverment are dishing out £190 to all Mums with babies due after the beginning of April.

It's made my day!

Thank you for this - I didn't know about it either and neither did my 2 pregnant friends!

Oh. I will only be 16 weeks pregnant

Why is it just for 25 weeks or more?? Anyone know?

stretch - you will be able to claim it once you reach 25 weeks so you won't miss out!

Really?
Did I read it wrong then??
And is it just for me too graze eat healthily!

Yeah think you did It is for anyone who will be pregnant after April and will be an on going thing for everyone once they reach 25 weeks. yes it is meant to be to help you eat healthy but you can use it for what ever you like! hope that helps

I did think it was odd!

Oh well!!Cheers!! Am happy now!!

Im due 3 april and this money only applies if you are due on or after 6 april. i called to check, and even if you end up having baby on or after 6 april, the money only applies if your due date is on or after 6 april. so i miss out by 3 days!!!

Good for you. Fancy sharing it with those who miss out by 2 weeks?
Yet another thing I'm not entitled too - surprise surprise!

Blimey, I hadn't heard about this either! Not publicising it very well, are they?

No they're not publicising it very well, which is why there are about 6 threads about it on MN - I've threatened to scream the next time I read about it!
I so desperately need £190 right now

I only read about it yesterday in Mother and Baby Magazine. Very useful and will pay for DS' birthday party lots of fruit and veg!

flippin fab i knew nothing about it, thankyou!

Yeah but they are not paying out until May ... can you believe.
My midwife knew of it but has no forms so i rang the helpline and why its called helpline i dont know because they didnt help just said doctors and midwife can get forms from them but public cant ...

I signed up for the text reminder service, as I am so daft atm! I'll be spending mine on fresh pineapple from 37 weeks!!!

How do you sign up for the text reminder service? I think i need that!!
