Im self employed too, cant claim SMP only MA (Maternity Allowance) which i believe is around £123 a week at the moment, or 90% of your current earnings if less than this. I had to ring Jobcentre Plus up, went through loads of questions which took about 15 mins, they are sending forms out in the post which i have to fill in and take in with my Mat B1 form. You can claim this for up to 39 weeks.
