    You don't need to apply as such, but you do need to inform them of changes in circumstances, including another child. Definitely inform them, after baby has arrived. They will adjust your payments accordingly.

    Yes, it'll be a big rise as well, £2690 a year if all else stays equal. Tell them asap after baby born.
