Home Help during Pregnancy or after Childbirth – Get Support Now
Support at home during a complicated pregnancy or after a difficult birth.
We are here for you, so you can focus fully on your family.

Who is eligible to get home support during or after pregnancy?
Every pregnancy is a special time, filled with anticipation and love but sometimes also health challenges.
If your doctor prescribes rest, you may be entitled to household help under §38 SGB V, covered by your statutory health insurance. What matters most is a doctor’s certificate (Attest). We take care of the rest.
You are eligible if:
You need to rest for medical reasons
Your doctor has prescribed bed rest or issued a work restriction
You already care for children under 12 years of age or a child with a disability
You face special challenges after birth (e.g. C-section, multiple birth)
Examples of medical situations that may entitle you to household support
These are common cases where a doctor may prescribe household help
Early contractions, shortened cervix, or cervical insufficiency
Low amniotic fluid, gestational diabetes, or hyperemesis gravidarum (severe nausea and vomiting)
Depressive episodes before or after childbirth
C-section or other medically challenging deliveries
Planned multiple birth (e.g. twins or triplets)
Hospital stays, rehabilitation, or prescribed bed rest during pregnancy
