Oh and when you go for your first scan and have you appointment with the mid wife after she will give you your maternity record ( or atleast thys what they did with me) ad it will be in one of the booklets in that folder

Well I'm also from south Yorkshire, yes they have stopped the 190 grant and you won't qualify for the 500 because you have to be on income support/ not working etc, but you can claim child tax credit and working tax credit but that's only once the baby is born :)

I think it depends on what state or country you are in. And what the companies regulations are about maternity leave. As far as government help im not sure i think that depends on where you live as well. good luck
