Health in Pregnancy.

Free fruit I believe, !!!!!! like that

Edit: Very likely to be scrapped, so I've heard.

Edit again: Free fruit must be something else. HiP seems to just be a sum of money given to you.

Health in pregnancy grant. The government GIVES you £190 cash into your bank account apparently its to cover costs of being pregnant. :rotfl: if your on a low income you can also get £7 in vouchers for fruit and stuff but the £190 is for everyone and its CASH. It has been scrapped but if your due before April of something you get it. Apparently the MW has the form all completed you just add your bank details and it goes into your account in 2-3 weeks. :rotfl:

I found it totally bizzare and I must admit my first reaction was OOO I'm gonna get myself a Radley changing bag :eek:. Totally irresponsible.

I think i'm adecent parent andwe are organised for baby, have cot, pram, car seat reusable nappies etc. We have an allotment and grow seasonal fruit and veg, more veg now its getting colder so really that £190 would just be like a windfall because I am more than capable of looking after myself and my baby without help.

I half wondered what do those less responsible do with it? You are about 30 weeks pregnant when it comes so do they spend it on baby essentials or something else. Especially as its cash and not a voucher for mothercare or something.

I haven't decided if I will actually claim it or not, maybe I should put that as a poll/moral dilema of the day :rotfl::D

The HiP is totally non means tested so SamCam and red Ed's wife/partner/landlord/bunkup would get it too.

Weird

I think that would be a good poll, it would be interesting to read different views especially with the discussion today about CB.

At 30 weeks pregnant surely you should have been eating healthily etc for well...at the very least 30 weeks?

Thank you for the explanation.

Really2

No

Stevie SHHHHHH it's first day of half term, I'm supposed to be working from home, I am trying to avoid getting caught up in golf but as it is I am posting here way too much. Oh and my livingroom looks like a bomb has hit it.

Reminder folks, one match left, McDowell vs Mahan, and the score is 13.5 - 13.5 with McDowell leading by a hole.
McDowell, ours BTW
