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
