Any mum-to-be living in the UK, can claim £190 towards eating a healthy diet.  Once you reach the 25th week of pregnancy you can claim a Health in Pregnancy Grant.  Here are the facts:
- To recieve the grant you must get a form from a doctor or midwife after which you have 31 days to claim.
- If you are eligable, the £190 is paid directly into your bank accountÂ

A nice idea from the government I think, and handouts are always welcome. Â However, In a similar way that in all the surestart classes are full of middle class people, I suspect that most of the people who use this grant will probably be eating in a healthy manner already. Â Furthermore, as the grant is paid in cash and so can be just as easily spent on fags and booze.
