For a discussion on the topic of pregnancy and motherhood, I recommend two readings quite simple, but complete, the first more scientific side, the second on the psychological.

• Carlo Flamigni, "Having a baby. How life begins: from conception to birth," Essays Oscar Mondadori, 711 pp., € 10.40

How is the miracle of conception? What relationship is established between the mother and baby during pregnancy? The unborn child to life as part of the outside world? What are the physical problems faced by the woman's body and what precautions you can follow? Finally, how the mother has to prepare for the pain of labor and childbirth? In these pages, Carlo Flamigni, an Italian expert of fertility problems, explains the fundamental aspects of male and female reproductive, describing the daily nine months of pregnancy and helping us to understand the motivations behind the choice of "being a parent ".

Carlo Flamigni, director of the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University of Bologna, a member of the National Bioethics Committee, conducts research in the pathophysiology of reproduction. Published: The Book of procreation (Oscar Mondadori, 1998), an essay on assisted reproduction, along with Marina Mengarelli within Will a son of Sylvia Finzi Vegetti (Oscar Mondadori 1999) and the novel Egg Yellow (Mondadori 2002).

• Daniel N. Stern, Nadia Bruschweiler Stern, "Birth of a mother. As the experience of motherhood changes a woman," Wise Oscar Mondadori, 213 pp., € 8.80.

Becoming a mother is an experience that is unparalleled in life, not just a turning point in the choices and changes most of the values \u200b\u200bwe believe in, but also affects the relationships with the people closest, becoming an extraordinary opportunity to revise its personal history and review its role inside and outside the family. Birth of a mother, based on analysis of individual cases and the personal contributions of many women, is primarily a work that deals with punctuality and psychological aspects of motherhood and its closely related themes such as fatherhood, premature birth, adoption. But it is also a participant and successful attempt to give voice for the first time the deeper emotions that animate the inner life of pregnant women: the dreams that the baby is coming, the intensity of the relationship with the newborn, the sense of responsibility towards a new life that demands our love and our dedication.

D ANIEL N. Stern teaches psychology at the University of Geneva and psychiatry at Cornell University Medical Center in New York. For years, student of the mother-child relationship, is the author of numerous books, including The interpersonal world of the child ( Bollati and Basic Books, 1987), Early social relationships: the child and the mother (Sovera Multimedia 1989) , Diary of a baby (Mondadori 1991) and maternal Constellation (Bollati and Boringhieri 1995)

Bruschweiler Nadia Stern worked as a pediatrician and child psychiatrist in Geneva.


A reading fit instead of an audience of "insiders" could be the following:

• Vegetti Silvia Finzi, " The child of the night. Becoming a woman becoming a mother ", Essays Oscar Mondadori, 278 pp., 7.75 €.

Who is the "child of the night"? A fascinating figure that the author reconstructs the unconscious through dream analysis that two girls talk about and draw, with extraordinary efficiency of expression in the course of psychotherapy. Present in dreams, games, their fantasies of childhood, the child of the night then seems to vanish in front of the royal son, the "baby of the day." But myths have retained his memory, and through extraordinary events of the secret initiation rites and female, reveals the eternal conflict between the sexes on the power to generate. In this momentodi crisis of female identity, and faced with new responsibilities imposed by procreation, which is the subject of scary technology, this personal and cultural journey into the unconscious, beyond the historical conditioning helps us to redefine motherhood across its biological complexity and symbolic. Rich with literary quotes and life stories, the book is a fascinating read for anyone who knows the challenges that our age brings us.

Becoming a mother, so many emotions! Good morning everyone

The birth of a child is a unique event ... During the nine months of waiting the expectant mother begins to make contact with your puppy, to imagine, to create a space for him, not only physically prepared the bedroom or perhaps the first buying clothes, but also on a psychological level, a space in mind that accommodate the baby and that his arrival will change the lives of parents. The dialogue of the mother with her child during pregnancy is given in accordance with, the mother feels the first movements of the little light as soap bubbles bursting, or like the beating of wings of a butterfly, then more vigorous and through these feelings begin to become aware of the life growing inside her. The dialogue in this period is made of caresses, words muffled in each other's hearts beating. It 's time of the "imaginary child, every mother that builds in his mind. What will my child? Look like me or dad? That character will have? It 'also the time of the doubts and fears. Will be healthy? I will be can be a good mother to him? I will love? The questions are many and the mother needs to make room in himself to build a new equilibrium. From mother to daughter, from girl to adult woman, the changes that motherhood brings are large and deep, and call into play the dynamics dormant, such as family, his relationship with his mother, his own childhood. It 's a bit like if the expectant mother, in order to fully accept the child who is coming, she herself had to return a little girl, go through the first moments of his life: in short, see the world through the eyes of children. During pregnancy, the emotions of the pregnant woman are amplified, mixed joy and sadness, intense both, the mother is literally struck by a cyclone emotional, too similar to what evidence a child, who still can not give a name and meaning to feelings and emotions he feels, but warns on full force.
If you think of the pregnancy, it is surprising that nature has built a time when she could reorganize their own pace and thoughts in anticipation of the arrival of a new little person, sleep changes, there are frequent awakenings that prepare the nights when the baby will require care, the breasts begin to change and to produce what will become the food for our puppy, our whole body, as well as our mind, is preparing the event: the arrival of a child in the world, the most natural thing, yet most amazing life. This period is so important in the life of a woman can be compared in some ways entering puberty. Again, a real upheaval in both of body and on a psychological level. You leave childhood and enter adulthood in a case, you leave the role of daughter and parent to enter into another. In both cases, through a "crisis" that it is crucial to be able to access the new state, to allow us to evolve, to grow. Obviously, this step can create fear, uncertainty and doubt that every new mother has to face. Of these fears will talk next time.

My areas of interest are in particular issues relating to maternity, pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal care, as well as issues concerning the nfertilità and medically assisted procreation.
I too am a mother of two beautiful twins and I personally experienced how much motherhood, despite being a truly unique and extraordinary event in the life of a woman, is also something that deeply upsets the balance achieved so far, doing a whole emerge unknown number of thoughts and emotions, but so intense as to create fear and instability. If you like, we can talk about all these feelings and find a way to understand them and give them a name and a more precise meaning.
