    Can I ask about tax credits.... how do you qualify for them? This whole thing is going right over my head!

    You wont get any till after your baby is born. Then you will get child tax credits. And if you or your partner are working 16hours plus you may be entitled to working tax credits, but depends on how much you earn together

    Benefits are such a nightmare! Thanks for all responses. Have an appointment with a benefits advisor next week so hopefully things will be a lot clearer :)
