[QUOTE]Originally posted by weirdkitty: [QB] My baby is a Muslim!? Well he isn't a good one, hasn't prayed once, when he had his grandads beads he broke them, and if he touched a quran, he would just slobber over it. But I'm pretty impressed, he has only just learnt "bababababa", and yet knows, understands and belives in the five pillars of Islam. Amazing. LMK, if you wish to go it alone, here is some helpful information: Tax credits are your best friend! If you work 16 hours or more a week, you can get working tax credits, however either way you get child TC. Every pergnant lady gets HIP grant, a one off payment of 190 pounds. Also, you are very likely to be entitled to the surestart grant, this is a one off 500 pounds (I can't find the pound thing on this computer). Don't fret if you are not entitled too the 500 whilst pregnant, you can claim it up to three months after the baby, and are much more likely to get it then. You will also get child benefit, which is 20 pounds a week. Surestart is great, they run free babygroups all over England, that have lots of different things going on. They are great just to get out of the house, and meet other mums (mat leave can be a lonely time otherwise). IF you breastfeed, a local "bossom buddy" or similar are good too. Often free tea and coffee, other mums, and a chance to chat about problems. If you need housing help, your midwife and doctor could help, esp if you make a big thing about being stressed in your situation (if living at home). Best to do this whilst still pregnant, as you could go into shared accom first, which you don't really want to do when baby is born (depends where you live though). Online baby forums are a great help when you are having a tough time, and freaking out about the future. I suggest babycentre.co.uk. You join your birth board (those due same month), and go through it all together. They also have a single parent group. If low on money, ebay is great. Remember babies grow very quickly, so don't waste 100 pounds on newborn clothes from mothercare. You can get large bundle of clothes from ebay for 20 pounds (often from places like mothercare or next, and worn once). And remember, there are actually some benefits to going it alone- you get full choice of the name for one! :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
