I never knew that when you are pregnant, you are entitled to
receive free NHS prescriptions in the UK!
That said, there’s no reason why I would know, I've never
been pregnant before!
It was on one of my trips to my GP when I was suffering with my morning sickness that
I was told that if I filled in a form at reception, that I would received a NHS
Maternity Exemption Certificate in the
post which I could use for the duration of my pregnancy and up until the baby
is 1 year old!
Touch!
| You'll receive one of these in the post. I've removed my Certificate Number for privacy reasons! |
Granted, that won’t be much use until after the baby is born
as I hope to not need any prescription medication in my pregnancy, but for a
year after is brilliant!
Yes, it’s the little things for me, but I never knew
pregnant women were entitled to this, so in case you didn't either, now you do!
