Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Social support is essential for postpartum well-being, but little is known about the postpnatal social support preferred by primiparous women. This study aimed to comprehensively understand and describe the meaning of postnatal social support experience in primiparous women.
METHODS: The participants were seven primiparous women who were within 1 year after childbirth, recruited through purposive and snowball sampling from an online parenting community. The data were collected through in-depth interviews from November 14 to 28, 2022. Participants were interviewed face-to-face or via phone or online platform, according to their choice. Colaizzi\'s phenomenological qualitative research method was applied to analyze the meaning of the participants\' experience.
RESULTS: Five theme clusters and fourteen themes were identified from the data. The five theme clusters are as follows: (1) Shortcomings of the childbirth and postpartum care system I learned through my experience; (2) Government policies focusing on childbirth and child-rearing rather than postpartum recovery; (3) Driving force of postpartum recovery: Shared childbirth process; (4) Childcare on my own; and (5) Conflicted between being a stay-at-home mom and a working mom under inadequate maternity protection policies.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite postpartum support from the government that was perceived as inadequate, first-time mothers regained confidence and motivation for parenting with the help of family, peers, and social networks. First-time mothers need support from professionals and reliable online communities for postpartum recovery and parenting.

摘要：
目的：社会支持对产后健康至关重要，但是对于初产妇更喜欢的产后社会支持知之甚少。本研究旨在全面理解和描述初产妇产后社会支持体验的含义。
方法：参与者是分娩后1年内的7名初产妇，通过来自在线育儿社区的目的性和滚雪球抽样招募。数据是通过2022年11月14日至28日的深入访谈收集的。参与者接受了面对面或通过电话或在线平台的采访，根据他们的选择。Colaizzi的现象学定性研究方法被用来分析参与者体验的含义。
结果：从数据中确定了五个主题集群和十四个主题。五个主题组如下：（1）我通过经验了解到的分娩和产后护理系统的缺点；（2）政府政策侧重于分娩和育儿而不是产后恢复；（3）产后恢复的驱动力：共享分娩过程；（4）我自己的育儿；（5）在生育保护政策不足的情况下，全职妈妈和工作妈妈之间的冲突。
结论：尽管人们认为政府的产后支持不足，第一次做母亲的人在家庭的帮助下恢复了为人父母的信心和动力，同行,和社交网络。初次母亲需要专业人士和可靠的在线社区的支持，以进行产后恢复和育儿。
