Desejo de maternidade
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Gravidez e Maternidade são duas faces da mesma moeda. Pode existir uma
gravidez sem existir um projecto de maternidade. É importante para o assegurar das tarefas
maternas e do bom funcionamento da criança, que esta primeira fase de gravidez seja
desejada e planeada. Para lá de um projecto inserido numa relação a dois encontra-se o
desejo de ser mãe. Quando este desejo existe, as mães tendem a descrevê-lo como um
instinto que as prepara para enfrentar todos os desafios e que as faz sentirem-se capazes.
Encaram-no como uma dádiva que as torna seres especiais. O não ser mãe é algo vivido
com sofrimento. Este trabalho tem como objectivo perceber o que faz a mulher desejar
realmente ser mãe. Quais são as motivações e de onde deriva este desejo? Será que é algo
que se modifica no tempo? Para tal, utilizamos o método Grounded Teory, que através da
análise indutiva e constante de entrevistas, propõe-se elaborar uma hipótese explicativa da
situação em estudo.
Pregnancy and Maternity are two sides of the same coin. There may be a pregnancy without a maternity project. It is important for maternity tasks to be guaranteed and for the good performance of the child, that this first stage of pregnancy is desired and planned. Beyond the project within a couple's relationship there is the will to become a mother. When this desire exists, mothers tend to describe it as an instinct, making them ready to face all the challenges and feel skilful. They face it as a gift, which makes them special beings. Not being a mother is something lived in suffer. This work aims at understanding what \really makes a woman want to be a mother. What are the motivations are where does that desire come from? Is it something that changes as time goes by? For this we use the Grounded Theory method, which by an inductive and continuous analysis of interviews intends to build an hypothesis to explain the study target situation.
