The Health in Pregnancy Grant – Coming Soon

honeybunny2669

I totally disagree saying that mothers to be should not receive thisx £190.00 grant. My baby is due in June and I am all for this grant. I have worked for 12 years and paid literally thousands and thousands of pounds into the system here. All I will get from the government is just over £120.00 per week stat maternity pay, this won't even cover my mortgage. I think every help mothers and mothers to be is a fantastic thing. We should be allowed to stay at home in the early stages with our children.
If you dont need this money then lucky you! But poor unfair comments are not needed and not everyone should be tarnished with the same brush. Some of us are honest hard working people.

The £190 ISN'T needed. Everyone should be eating healthy anyway, not just pregnant women. Maternity pay isn't great but it was your choice to have your baby. I struggled with my mortgage whilst on maternity leave but that's life. I wanted my children and when I became pregnant I made a concious choice to eat more healthy and to give up smoking whilst pregnant. I certainly didn't need 190 pounds to do so.

Yay, I get to pay peoples mortgage and for their kids, makes me feel great being a tax payer.

Completely agree with you - I'm in the same boat. Never claimed a penny from the Gov in my life & paid thousands in Taxes for working over 11 years. I'm now more than happy to claim for what I am entitled to, especially seeing as so many people live on just benefits and don't work. I will be going back to work too, as I have to if I want to keep my flat. £190.00 will help towards baby essentials like the pram, cot etc...

see this is what really annoys me, for all them do gooders out there who say we shouldnt claim this grant all i can say to that is we dont get much else out of this country. u seem to forget all the foreigners that come in 2 out country get a lovely big house, any car they want, claim all the benefits and more than us yet i dont see you moaning at them, that is the reason i say for all the people who want this grant go for it. this country is already in a bad way with the foreigners so us claiming aint gonna do no harm and all those people who say y have kids if u cant afford them, i fell pregnant and then lost my job thru no fault of my own and need the money now. diddnt claim for my 1st child as i was working at the time and didnt need it. so all them people who cain other people about getting this grant maybe its not us u shud be moaning at.

Only if the copy is at least a year old and the thing they signed up to rant about has been scrapped in the meantime, I'm guessing!

Where does MSE find these people?
