Try the above website but also pay a visit to your local CAB who might be able to help you. A lot depends on your housing situation, will you be having the baby at home with (I assume) your parents or will you be looking to go into Council housing?
You don't have to earn the earth to bring up a baby, they need food in their bellies and lots of love xx

I was 16 when I had my first child and I came across alot of negative attitudes from people both in and outside of my family. The general attitude was that I was going to be a crap mother and not cope and as I was not going to stay with the father either I was branded even worse.
But I am happy to say that my daughter is now 7 and a bright and happy polite little soul. I still managed to go to college and achieve 4 a levels while she was a baby and I am very proud of her and myself. We dont have much money but she has everything she needs food warmth love etc and neither of us suffer for it.
I am sorry I cant be much help about the benefits side of things I just wanted to show you some supposrt as I know exactly how you must be feeling right now but call your local jobcentre or CAB and I am sure they will be able to help. Ignore silly comments and enjoy being pregnant, the gift of a baby is not every womans right, so look after yourself cos you have been blessed x x

thats the government website telling you what you can claim, your midwife should be able to tell you some information too, such as local funds and as people said Citizens advice and Jobcentre will be able to tell you everything you need to know
good luck x
