    Hi @Mazzz79 and welcome to the community!
    Nope, Child Benefit doesn't affect ESA or PIP. :smile: It's ignored for income-related benefits. I imagine you'll need to inform ESA of the pregnancy, but I've been unable to find a consensus online. It might be worth getting advice from a local advice agency, calling ESA directly or our helpline on 0808 800 3333.
