Body, Gestate, Giving Birth: about maternal survivals and experiences
Maternity; women-mothers; psychoanalysis;
Motherhood hovers over historically constructed discourses, by different knowledge that permeate the social bond, in which, despite significant advances in the achievement of women's and mothers' rights, normative ideals, sometimes violent, are still imposed, not respecting the uniqueness of each one. to build your own maternal path. Awakened by what surrounds the issues, in the face of listening in the analytical setting which I exercise, I followed for nine months a collective prenatal group which sought to deconstruct the imposed ideals, sharing unique experiences and what they could come to do with meeting for the production of each maternity ward.In addition, guided by listening within the office, as well as cultural productions on reports, films, documentaries, music, I sought, guided by psychoanalysis, to listen to women-mothers about their experiences, and thus, to displace a suffering that seems constant between them, for possibilities of inscription as a mother, which will be particular to each one. In the chapters, I made considerations about this body between the feminine and the masculine, the control, the feminine in psychoanalysis; I also write about childbirth, the past that resonates in the marks of obstetric violence today, childbirth as an event. Then, I report on becoming a mother, the pandemic period that was concomitant to this research, and the inscription of a place as a mother.The women-mothers I had contact with reported suffering in control, whether in bodies, in childbirth, in naming while wanting or not wanting motherhood, that is, in their desire. However, spaces such as the group, the clinic, denouncement-writings such as this work, are making holes in the imposed ideals, in the lives of women and their subjective inscriptions.
