Hi @fussywifey

See below:

Raising And Caring For Your Children
Enhanced Baby Bonus
  • Parents receive an enhanced cash gift of $6,000 (up from $4,000) each for their 1st and 2nd child, and $8,000 (up from $6,000) each for their 3rd and 4th child. The cash gift is fully disbursed earlier, within 12 months of the child’s birth (instead of the 18 months previously).
  • Savings to a child’s Child Development Account (CDA) are matched dollar-for-dollar by the Government for up to $6,000 each for the 1st and 2nd child, up to $12,000 each for the 3rd and 4th child, and up to $18,000 each from the 5th child onwards.
  • With effect from 1 January 2013, the CDA has been extended by 6 years. This means that children born on or after 1 January 2006 continue to have their CDAs open until 31 December of the year they turn 12, instead of 31 December of the year they turn 6. Parents can continue to save into the CDA and use CDA funds for their children and their siblings until 31 December of the year they turn 12. 1 Jan 2013
Medisave Grant for Newborns
  • Each citizen newborn has a CPF Medisave account opened for him/her, with a Medisave grant of $3,000 deposited.
  • The first $1,500 is deposited after birth registration, and the remaining $1,500 is deposited in the subsequent year, provided that the child remains enrolled in MediShield or a Medisave-approved Integrated Shield Plan.
MediShield Coverage for Congenital & Neonatal Conditions
  • Newborns are covered under MediShield from birth with no underwriting, including for congenital and neonatal conditions, so long as their parents do not opt them out.
Parenthood Tax Rebate (PTR)
  • Parents can claim the PTR of $5,000 for their 1st child, $10,000 for their 2nd child, and $20,000 each for all subsequent children. Existing

Don't worry I gained abt 4 plus since preg but baby wt gain ok slightly high .. If gynae nv comment shd be ok.. Im taking the vits n fish oil daily
 
I didn't gain much weight at all but baby bump is showing well. Most importantly, the doctors did not comment on my weight problem at all. Hopefully I can have more food intake.
