No, but you might need to be in B&B until a place is available.
Though i think they keep that to minimum
see below

also shelter have good advice
If you are pregnant, or have children, you should not be placed in a bed and breakfast unless:
you are homeless because of an emergency, such as a flood, or fire
you have specifically asked to be placed in an area where there is no other temporary accommodation available, for example to be near friends or family, or your child's school.
You can also be placed in a bed and breakfast if:
you made your homeless application outwith normal office hours, or
the council does not have any suitable temporary accommodation for you.
