Due to have a baby 6 April onwards? Don't miss out on £190

The government has these great plans, but doesn't think things out 1st. It would save a lot of hassle & time for all concerned if the government had sent us midwives the forms we are supposed to issue before informing the public!! We are being made to look foolish. :mad:

Sektslurper, i don't think anyone thinks midwives are foolish, it just seems that as you say the gov't has this great plan and announces it to everyone without putting the system in place.

Good luck to all, at least only having to wait still means you will get it!

I saw my midwife yesterday and although I’m not quite 25 weeks pregnant she gave me the form and post dated it for me (as I won’t be seeing her for another 4 weeks). She said to get the application in asap but not to expect payment until April at the earliest.

You could be super clever and get forms for yourselves (Not that u should have to!)
Your midwife or doctor will give you a Health in Pregnancy Grant claim form. This will usually be at your next ante-natal appointment after your 25th week of pregnancy. They will need to complete their parts of the form and sign and date their part of the claim form before giving it to you. If your midwife or doctor does not have a claim form please call the Health in Pregnancy Grant Helpline on Tel 0845 366 7885.
You can also get the claim form in large print by calling the Health in Pregnancy Grant Helpline on Tel 0845 366 7885.

• For HM Armed Forces - you can get the claim form from your HM Forces medical centre, or contact your HM forces Administration Officer for further information. If you need any further help you can call the Health in Pregnancy Grant Helpline on Tel + 44 292 050 1178
• For civil servants - you can get further information on how to claim by calling the Health in Pregnancy Grant Helpline on Tel + 44 292 050 1178.

Im expecting twins in June - does anybody know if I qualify for 2 x £190 (ie £190 per baby) or is it £190 per pregnancy?

We Currently have 2 Mums2be pregnant with twins I'm sure they'd like another Liz

My daughter just submitted this form yesterday. She asked for the forms weeks ago and the doctors, surgery staff, health visitors, mid-wives etc., knew nothing about it. My daughter had to explain it to the practice manager who in turn rang necessary depts and advised all staff. Isn't it just as well that she's a MS fanatic!!!

Nope, the wife and I asked the same question to the midwife for our expected twins. Its per pregnancy, not per baby. Shame really but still better than nothing.
