Hey,welcome to Babyandbump and congratulations on your pregnancy!

I'm from US so I can't reply to the question about finances since I have no idea how the whole thing works...

As for the mayonese and salad cream,there is a lot of things forbbiden from consumating in pregnancy,but to tell you the truth it's just blown out of proportions.I ate mayonese when I was pregnant and it didn't hurt a thing.
Just make sure the date is in order and that it's fresh.

There is a sticky thread in the first trimester section called 'What to eat and what not to eat during pregnancy' if you have anymore questions...

Hiya U can eat mayonaise as long as it isnt home made..and in moderation.
You could speak to someone from a job centre about benifits, they will tell you about everything you are entitled to.
Congratulations on the baby
