2011 Australian Baby Bonus News Site.

Are you better receiving the Australian Baby Bonus or do you get a better financial result with the Paid Parental Scheme. It can be complicated, see below for details.

How is the Baby Bonus paid?

The baby bonus will be cut from $5400 to $5000 from September 2012, and frozen at that level for a further three years, until then the Baby Bonus is paid per eligible child in 13 fortnightly instalments. From 1 July 2011, customers eligible to receive Baby Bonus will get a higher first instalment of $879.77 and 12 fortnightly instalments of approximately $379.77. The higher first instalment of Baby Bonus will assist with the upfront costs of having a new child.

Unhappy Please help??!!

Well I'm back again. This is getting harder and harder. AF is just doing it's own thing now. Last month I had spotting on day 23 n then AF came with full force on day 25. This month I am more confused than ever!! DH and I had sex on about day 15(Friday) n when I went to the toilet afterwards I had the tiniest little blood clot on the tissue paper. So tiny I thought it was a red thread but sadly it wasn't. That scared me a bit cos I've never had that mid cycle. The next day (Saturday) I had spotting and dull cramps. On Sunday they got a bit worse. Not really bad just constantly there n it went to my lower back too. I put heat packs on it that helped it a bit. So now I don't know what is happening. I am still spotting today (Monday) and AF should be atleast a week away! Can anyone help??

Thanks for reply, felt like I was talking to myself for awhile...lol.
Oh, n thanks for all those tips you posted. It makes more sense to me coz AF is being so irratic it helps to look for other signs of O.
I still don't know when O was but I am on day 19 of my cycle which means I still have to wait atleast a week.
Just incase anyone has the same thing that happened to me this month. I went to see a nurse and she says it's nothing to worry about. She said it might have been ovulation or maybe implantation. She said I just need to wait n see if AF appears.
However because of this my hopes have sky rocketed! Have you found that as soon as someone else says you could be pregnant it makes it 100x worse if you aren't. To make it even worse, I told my husband what the nurse said then he got all excited and said I must be pregnant too.
I think I'll be pretty devastated this time round if I'm not.
Good luck to everyone else trying.
Baby dust to all!
