Depends on whether the teen mother will be working or not.
If you work over 16 hours per week you will be entitled to WFTC and CFT (you can google this on tax credits and do a quick test to show how much you may possibly get)
If you are not working you may be able to qualify for reduced rent on a council or housing association property and income support/job seekers allowance.
Regardless of the age of the mother there is also a £250 lump sum (BUT THIS IS FOR THE BABY) so you can invest it for your child.
There is also child benefit which is £72 approx monthly for the first child.
I hope that it all goes well.

There are many things to choose from. For example, some grandparents to be will help out but you can also apply for child benefit. You will also recieve grants for a government based child trust fund which will help them out when they are older. You can also make the father of the child pay for maintenance to support the child.
Hope this helps

There should not be anything-- they should not be having children that young-- It's appauling how mothers of these 'children' allow this to go on.. Teens should be educated and kept an eye on-- if your teen daughter is premiscuous she should be put on the pill at least and taught how to be safe. There is no need for all these unwanted pregnancys.
Us as tax payers are paying for these babys as the mothers have to go on benefits. I think it should all stop

how young are you? if you're still in full time education speak to an educational welfare officer or school nusrse they should be able to put you in touch with a schoolgirl mums unit who will advise you on everything from finance to childcare and continuing education. If you out of full time education try the benefits agency or citizens advic, they will be able to help.
