Benefits and Babies...Help....!

I am 29 and my partner is 24..i work full time and earn a basic of 30k plus i have a company car and fuel card..my partner works full time and earns 20k and has no added benefits (we expect her to do 16 hours after the preganncy so circa earnings of 8-10 k) Our little girl is due in may......

I have a son with my ex partner and he is three, he lives with her and i have him every other weekend but do not receive any benefit for him....we are very very confused over the situation with benefits and tax credits? is it possible any of you can possibly give us any advice on what we would receive from the above information? We plan to speak to the CAB at some point but would like to get an idea here if possible??

thanks
