I'm coming up 30 weeks pregnant and I am really getting worried. Work hasnt been giving me anything for a few weeks, when I just found out there has been work available but it has been given to others, I've looked for benefits but there is not much I can claim and if I can claim it its very little, I've applied for those healthy start vouchers at start of December and havent had a single one yet. It's stressing me out so much that I just crawl into my bed and cry because I have no idea how on earth I am going to get any money at all. I'm lucky that I have a mum who has bought me quite a lot of things ready for the baby as well as other people, but I don't want to rely on everybody else all the time as I have to do pull my weight as well (i'm not a sponger or a couch potato). If anybody has any advice or experience or anything please please please let me know as it would be very much appreciated.

by 30 weeks you should have had your 500 maternity grant surley? go to the council and see what they can offer you, dont get down about it, money is something we all need but like they say, you cant buy happiness. xx
