Universal credit

I am 23 weeks pregnant and a single mum, I have one baby already she is 1.6 I have applied 6 months ago and already receive it , but I am not sure where could I let them know about my second pregnancy/baby I was trying to do it but all what I can do is let them know about my health changes but nothing to do with pregnancy. Does anyone can help or explain to me how to do it? Also moving in council house in a few weeks need to change adress as well but I am feeling so stupid for not seeing how to do it
Thank you xx

Heya, you should be able to let them know on the journal via health changes but if you wanna make sure they do it right I’d call them on 0800 328 5644 or pop in your job centre :) you’re not stupid, I’m convinced they make it hard or annoying to discourage people tbh! X

You cant add baby on until they are actually born and then they will ask for evidence of the birth so you have to show them the red book they get or there birth certificate I had to go into the job centre to do this. Also for address when you log into your account go to report a change then go down to where you live and what it costs you can’t actually do it till you’ve moved in as it asks you the date of the change and you can’t put it in as a future date xx

Just pop it under health changes it won't affect your claim until the baby is born they don't pay for pregnancy as I've recently found out

I know that, I just want to make sure they are aware about me being pregnant. I know they don’t pay you till baby is born xx

Just put it as a health change that's what I was advised

You have to let them know once you reach 20 weeks and you report it under the health section. This then updates on your journal and nothing happens until baby is born x

When our daughters are grown

Are we teaching them that circumcised boys are dirty and unclean?

You’re at the check out and notice the cashier gives you senior citizen discount. You’re very clearly under the cut off. Would you be excited for the extra savings or offended?

Turns out Monday morning at my Kroger and the lady slipped it in without saying anything. This has happened to my mom before and we were both obviously happy with a random discount but one of my sisters in law said she’d die if that happened to her because she’d be so embarrassed 😂

Something you’d never buy second hand?

What is something you’d never buy second hand and can’t believe people do. For me it’s clearly very worn shoes or mattresses🥴

Childcare Funding help

So my LO is under 2 and goes to nursery 2 full days a week. Me and husband both worked and got the 30 government funded hours. However my husband has recently lost his job of 8 years due to the company going under.

The worst part is he lost his job the day before I gave birth to our second child. So now I'm on rubbish maternity pay and he's got no earnings.

I'm wondering if we still entitled to any funded hours or not? I just don't want my LO to lose his place as obviously my husband is trying to get a job and when I go back to work we will need the childcare.

Has anyone been in this situation? Is there a grace period? Tyia!

Marriage struggles

Can someone who has had bad marriage problems before and gotten through it message me? I feel so alone in the situation I'm in and can't talk to my family about it and my unmarried friends are no help. Saying "just leave" is not helpful. If you can relate please comment so I can message you. I just really need either advice or just someone to talk to. Thanks 🩵

Has your child(ren) ever made an unauthorized purchase on one of your accounts?

I left my son to watch tv alone in my room while I switched the laundry over and not 2 minutes went by before I got a notification thanking me for a 1 year peacock subscription of $116.

Luckily Roku refunded me and I’ve since added a pin but now I know it really is that easy for kids to make quick and expensive purchase without us knowing.
