pregnancy isnt a disability (not yet anyway although you would be surprised it isnt reading some posts on here), you go on ESA in the latter stages of pregnancy if you have no other benefit to claim.0 -

The babys father is no longer in a position to help me.since finding out i am pregnant he has become useless,got sacked from his job,he very lazy and gets aggressive very easily.he was not like this before i got pregnant!!and i did not want to be on benefits with a child so plz dnt judge me. i have found myself in a difficult situation and now i am trying to do this by myself,i want to give my baby the best start in life that i can£8/£100 - £1 a day until xmas day :T - im a little behind it shud be £11 i think.
