Do pregnant women have free prescriptions and dental care?

I was given prescription for Folic acid,the doctor said its free for every pregnant woman. In chemistry though they asked me to pay saying prescriptions are free only after 3 months of pregnancy.Information on internet says EVERY pregnant woman has free prescription and dental care.So how is it?I am in England.

yea, you get the card and its valid from conception till when your baby is predicted to be a year old - from your due date The lady doesnt know what shes talking about!! I got my card when i was about 6 weeks pregnant and it was valid from when 'conception was predicted' as if if i had already paid for some then i could get the money back. You definitly without a doubt should be getting them free of charge, if you have got your card i would go back to she shop that this was valid from whenever and i am entiled to it free and if its the same woman ask to talk to the manager, someone in that shop must know what their talking about!! Dont be getting mugged off by people who havnt got a clue!! Goodluck with this!
