Single mum to be

[chloec]

Hi all,
I'm new here and I needs some help. I am unwed single mum to be (preg at 36weeks). There are few questions that I needs answer.
1) Any single mum got baby bonus? I heard and read online that single parent is not eligible for baby bonus. But i also heard that some get it.
2) Is there any procedure I need to do after birth? eg. custody, child legitimate under me, etc.

My friends are more concern for me so they will throw alot more questions for me. I don't really know what to do. Some ask me to find MCYS so that they can help with my situation. But i don't really know how to start with. When i do more on the research I feel more lost.

Thank you all for helping me.

hi

Hi I was a single mum when I gave birth to my son. There is no baby bonus given. Until I got married and I was given CDA account which is only $400. I knew its tough but trust me you will feel everything is worth it. My son is now 8 years old.

Agree with Donna 1972. Go to a family service centre and see what they can help you with. I'm also a single mum, currently still going through divorce. Honestly, it is not easy to be a single mother..especially if your ex is not supporting at all. But no matter what, im sure the mummies here will always be around to give anyone positive moral support. Jiayou!
