You're on JSA according to your previous posts yes?
What is your partner planning on doing when she has the baby? will she have finished her education? will she be taking a break?
She might be eligible or a sure start maternity grant, so you can buy things for the baby.

She can speak to her midwife about this.
And have a look on here to see what you may be able to claim.

after the baby is born there will be CB etc. Hopefully you might have a full time or maybe 2 part time jobs by then!Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.0 -
