A qualitative study of postpartum practices and social support of Chinese mothers following childbirth in Switzerland.

Background: Asian migrants follow many traditional postpartum beliefs and practices after childbirth to protect both mother and child. Chinese mothers are often expected to stay at home for 4-6 weeks while observing certain restrictions known as postpartum confinement, or "Zuo Yue Zi."

Aim: To explore how Chinese mothers followed postpartum practices and the social support they needed while in Switzerland.

What matters to migrant women during labor and birth: Chinese mothers' experiences in Switzerland.

Background: In Switzerland, foreigners account for 25.3% of the permanent resident population, and the fertility rate of migrant women is higher than that of Swiss women. However, migrant women from non-European countries are more likely to report having negative childbirth experiences than Swiss women.

The pregnancy experiences and antenatal care services of Chinese migrants in Switzerland: a qualitative study.

Background: Differences in reproductive health outcomes according to the mothers' origins have been reported in Switzerland, for example, women from European countries and non-European countries. The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health has therefore called for specific Swiss-wide studies on migrant populations. This study explores the pregnancy and antenatal care experiences of Chinese migrants in Switzerland, intending to clarify their maternity care needs.
