The period from the delivery of the placenta to the recovery of all organs of the maternal body (except the mammary gland) to the normal non-pregnant state, especially in the early postpartum period, is the critical and sensitive to the maternal physical and psychological recovery and adaptation to the environment. If recovery and adaptation are not suitable, the postpartum urination, uterine contraction, emotional state and lactation may interfere with a woman's ability to care for herself and her infant. This consensus is to standardize and guide the early postpartum rehabilitation service of nulliparas after vaginal delivery, improve the service cability, and meet the medical needs of early postpartum physiological, psychological and social adaptation by elaborating the appropriate technical methods and application of traditional Chinese medicine.
