    Fbaby,

    Have you read my first post?

    I have read your first post very well and everyone has responded to it, but then you went on arguing you were asking about additional money after the baby was born (rather than whilst pregnant), and then went on about mothers wanting to get back to work getting support.

    Maybe if you could be a bit clearer as to what it is you want to know, you might get the answers you are after. You have already been told number of times that NO YOU CANNOT CLAIM ESA.

    Where are the insults??

    Telling people to go back to school and asking if they can read English.

    We all understand you perfectly well, but I'm not sure that is reciprocated.

    OP i dont see what is going to change after you have the 2nd child? :think:

    If you cant afford child care now then how can you afford it 6 months after the 2nd is born? Your benefits will probably go down because you are both working?

    So to answer your question (as many others have) NO you will not get any extra help whilst your pregnant.

    Just for your future reference, the only people that ask what is a troll, are the trolls.
    Remember that for your next username.

    Oh , you have never asked what a troll is? So if I ask what a troll is, that means I am a troll? So when you asked what a troll is did you get a reply "only people that ask what is a troll are the trolls"? How very sad for you. Cheer up.

    I only referenced about to school to two people because one person said they could not understand what I was saying when it was pretty clear. And the other seemed like he was responding after not reading all the posts. All my posts are just explaining and repeating and responding to some particular posts. Its is good that you read english. Try understanding it if you are not sure that "its reciprocated." All the best.

    Well reading your replies to most people on your thread I would advise you to take lessons in manners before your try to entry the workforce.

    You might like to use the time till the baby is born in learning to be grateful for all the financial help you and your family receive from taxpayers and when you have achieved that lesson to a good standard then move on to learning good manners, respect etc.
  • ESA is for those that are unable to work due to a medical condition.
    I am not sure why you ask if you can get ESA after the birth of your baby, being pregnant and having a baby does not make you unfit for work.
    You question others educational ability but if you are educated surely you would be able to find out the answers to your questions by searching online.

    Esa if for the sick or disabled. Pregnancy is not a disability or illness, so no. You cannot claim ESA while pregnant or after the birth. :)

    Just to correct this point again, woman in week thirty onwards of pg can claim ESA if they do not qualify for MA or SMP. However, they do need to fulfil the CB/ IB requirements, so it would not be available to the OP.

    I agree the OP is el trollo, but someone else could see this thread and be eligible.

    Less time being a eejit online would mean you could maybe look for a job to support the kids you have chosen to have. Or maybe you could carry on with your awful attitude pop out a few more and expect everyone to pay for those too.


    Thanks though, you gave me a laugh wanting to go on esa because you chose to get pregnant.....you couldn't make it up

    Brainwave for you.... Tell your hubby to get more hours. No need for child are and more cash..or would that be too simple
    Its all mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter:rotfl:
