BACKGROUND:
Postpartum is critical for maternal and newborn health, particularly for immigrant women who may experience unique barriers related to language, cultural differences, and access to healthcare. Despite the growing research on postpartum for immigrant women, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis identifying trends and research gaps is lacking.

OBJECTIVES:
This study aims to analyse global research trends on postpartum for immigrant women using bibliometric methods, identify key contributors, and highlight emerging themes and gaps in the literature.

METHODS:
A bibliometric analysis was conducted using Web of Science databases. Relevant studies published until December 2024 were retrieved using specific keywords related to postpartum and immigrant women. The data were analysed using VOS viewer and Bibliometrics for citation analysis, co-authorship networks, and keyword co-occurrence mapping.

RESULTS:
A total of 599 studies were included. The number of publications has shown a steady increase since 2008. The most influential journals include BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth and the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, with Collins and colleagues in 2011 as the most referenced study. Leading countries in research output are Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, with strong international collaborations between the University of Toronto, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Oxford. Thematic analysis revealed key areas such as pregnancy and postpartum, postpartum depression and social support, migration and perinatal care, breastfeeding and cultural adaptation, mental health and women's health inequalities, and postpartum well-being and anxiety.

CONCLUSIONS:
The findings highlight significant advancements in research but also reveal critical gaps in intervention studies and culturally tailored postpartum models. Future research should prioritise more diverse studies exploring immigrant women’s lived experiences and the development of evidence-based, culturally sensitive postpartum policies.
