Having a baby is both exciting and costly but there are a number of benefits and entitlements available to give a boost to your family budget.
If you’re pregnant, you can get free prescriptions and NHS dental care with a Maternity Exemption Certificate.
You can also claim more than £1,000 a year if you have one child, and an extra £800 for additional children if you earn less than £50,000. This section details your options if your family has low income or if you’re looking for financial support during or after your pregnancy.
