The Pregnancy and Baby Payment is being launched by the Scottish Government, meaning anyone with a new child from December 10 can apply for a cash sum.
Parents welcoming their first child after that date are eligible for a free £600 cash payment - or a £300 payment for any other child, for example their second or third child.
And there's good news if you're expecting twins or triplets too.
For example if you are having twins, you will receive £600 for the first child, an additional £300 for the second child AND an extra £300 for having more than one baby - meaning you'll be eligible for a £1200 payment.
If your baby was stillborn, or your baby died after they were born, you can apply up to 6 months after their birth date
