congratulations!
As far as benifits go...it depends on your OHs income. If it is low then you can apply for working tax credits (or well your dh can)
good luck x

Hello

https://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/BenefitsTaxCreditsAndOtherSupport/index.htm

The link above will give you information about what benefits your entitled too and what you can receive while pregnant.

Hope this helps

If you have made enough NI contributions (which you will have done as you have been in employment) you will be entitled to claim the contributions based rate of Jobseekers Allowance, regardless of your husband's income. You will get this for six months I think. Obviously you will have to give them at least the impression of actually seeking work while you are pregnant.
However, if you don't work then you won't get enough qualifying weeks during your pregnancy to claim Maternity Allowance when the time comes. Perhaps you could do some temping in the meantime so you get enough payslips to claim this, as it will be worth £100 a week to you for nine months.
As your household income will have gone down, you should be entitled to an increase in your working tax credits.
