In Yokohama City, when issuing the Maternal and Child Health Handbook, 14 Pregnant Women's Health Checkups expense assistance tickets are issued.
From April 2021, multiple pregnant women will receive an additional 5 auxiliary tickets, as the number of consultations is larger than those for single births.
※The target of assistance is pregnant women's medical examinations received after April 1, 2021.
※Even if you have already received the Maternal and Child Health Handbook, additional assistance tickets will be issued to multiple pregnant women.

Because there is no support for daytime housework or childcare in "Pregnant women with children who have physical and mental disorders" or "Maternity women less than 5 months after childbirth (1 year for twins or more)" If you need help, you can get help with housework and childcare by dispatching helpers. ※If you use during pregnancy, you must be a pregnant woman who has given birth to the first child.

For details, please refer to the page of Maternity Helper Dispatch Business.

Public health nurses and midwives from Health and Welfare Center, ward, provide consultation by visiting homes, telephone and interview.

From April 2021, the upper limit of the use of maternal and child short stays has increased by seven days for multiple fetus families.
