9 weeks and 12 weeks here. But me having a baby seems to cause natural disasters, particularly flooding.
Should BB and FTB come in at the same time? Last baby I remember they didn't. This one I don't know, need to check my online letters.

they will start at the same time - first payment should be same day - but after that, your ftb will align with your normal ftb payment, and bb will be paid fortnightly from the date it was granted (so they may not be on the same day)

7 weeks with DS2. It was only 2 weeks with the triplets though.

Do they backpay the BB to when the baby was born if it takes 7 weeks?
I really need a new pram, would have loved to buy one before baby arrives but I have to wait for the BB.

I'm pretty sure they back pay it to whenever you wanted you start date to be.

No, they back pay FTB but the BB starts from the processing date. Mine took 2 weeks with DD2 a year ago but I have friends who lodged 1 month before me and their payment took almost 3 months to come through
