Gravidez de alto risco: o tempo é soberano

Abstract

Pregnancy is an evolution process that is supposed to reach its term. Thus, threats that might lead to the interruption of a given pregnancy, such as the pregnancyrelated diseases - which affects the body suddently - precipitate in high-risk pregnant women the experience of a psychic trauma. Our objective is to describe and discuss a clinic experience on hospital environment using, as tools, some data gathered from the employment of psychoanalysis in antenatal care for high-risk pregnant women - hospitalized or bound to be hospitalized. We utilize the qualitative method of literature review, articulating, as often as possible, the concepts of Psychoanalysis with the Medical ones. Fragments of overheard conversations in outpatient wards will illustrate the discussion.
