Do you know a pregnant woman who is worried about money?

Submitted by on 10 December 2009 – 10:113 Comments

According to a new survey by the Organic Milk Cooperative, 37% of pregnant women are worrying about money.

In the current climate, this is totally understandable – because having a baby is expensive, and raising children is expensive. But it's awful that at a time when they should be concentrating on themselves, some women are having to worry about how they're going to feed, clothe and buy equipment for their babies.

If you know someone who is having a baby or has recently had a child, make sure they're claiming everything they're entitled to.

And tell them that if they shop for their nursery equipment and baby clothes through KidStart retailers, including Mothercare, JoJoMamanBebe, Kiddicare  and Blooming Marvellous, they'll get money back for their children's future.

    I was working for myself during both my pregnancies and I remember how difficult it was to find out exactly what my entitlements were – it was a really worrying time, especially with my because we really didn’t know exactly what the costs of having a newborn baby would be. It really does help to have someone point you in the right direction for ALL your entitlements.

    You’re so right to get women to check everthing they’re entitled to. You can backdate child benefit, but only for a few months. And it’s well worth looking for children’s products in second hand outlets such as nappyvalley.co.uk.

    I do know someone in this situation and will pass this on. Thanks for the links.
