    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
