http://www.dwp.gov.uk/lifeevent/benefits/statu tory_maternity_pay.asp there should be some usefull things to look through on here. if she has been working for over a year she can claim 9 tenths of her wage for the first 6 weeks of maternity leave, and a standard �110 or so for a few months afterwards. but read into it a bit more. not sure what she gets after having the baby

after the birth she will be entitled to child benefit and possibly a child tax credit depending on her earnings.

She will get dentist and prescriptions for free during her pregnancy and up to when the child is 1.

If her father is worried about maternity pay, the money is given to him by the inland revenue to cover it was obviously he may need to emply another person to cover her maternity leave.

She may not want to take maternity leave and return to work straight away but she must take 2 weeks off work after the birth by law.
