Universal Credit Question!😶

Hey British mamas. So, I’m under 25, single and claim universal credit — my child has not YET been born and I currently receive £230 a month (£20 deductions are made as I took out an advance when I originally applied for UC.)

My question is, will my money go up by £231 when my baby has been born? (Does the ‘extra’ on the screenshot literally mean EXTRA?🤔) I’m sorry for sounding dippy and stupid, I just don’t quite understand how this all works and I’m trying to work out my finances as best as I possibly can!😬
