Sometimes i think the government can be a bit sneaky, they have introduced the Health in Pregnancy grant which of course is good, £190 one off payment that can help buy things for yourself & your baby is nothing to be sniffed at.

I think the governments original idea was it promotes pregnant mothers to eat a bit more healthy, but you can buy whatever you want with it ( don;t think a anyone is expecting you to go buy £190 of veg!).

Anyway just wanted to remind everyone you have to claim WITHIN 31 DAYs of the form being signed by your midwife, otherwise they won’t pay out. Why they out this clause in i don;t know.

I visited my midwife over christmas where she gave me this form, of course with the really bad weather and things being shut for christmas i put it to one side and forgot about it. I’ve only just sent mine off and am right on the deadline so i’ll see if i still get it…….

Don;t loose out, complete the form and send back ASAP !
