An expectant mother does not know if her child will be
male or female, during the first months, healthy or not,
she must besides experience a new balance within the
couple with her partner; so she could develop anxiety
with bad influences on pregnancy child birth and on
future parents-child relationship.
Music Therapy can give an opportunity to the pregnant
woman to comunicate with her future baby and so
thinking to him or her like a real human being; for this
Music Therapy will be a great help to the expectant
mother during pregnancy. In fact the mother because of
ther psychological regression, brings to light her own
sonorous ways of comunication learning throughout the
pregnancy, to talk with her baby, using sound: the baby
perceives at first only sound vibrations but finally he/she
can perceive the sound.
For this I propose an experimental use of Music
799
Therapy in the course of pregnancy to protect the
expectant mother and her future parent-child
relationship avoiding communication conflicts to
parental fears, memories or projections.
El embarazo es un momento en el que, desde el punto
de vista psicodinámico, se producen en la mujer una
serie de cambios y re-organizaciones en las que se
experimentan vivencias nuevas y se reviven
sensaciones y sentimientos referidos sobre todo a la
relación con la madre y al mismo papel de hija. La
regresión, por tanto, es una de las características
importantes de este estadio.
El hecho de no saber cómo será el niño ni de qué sexo
será durante los primeros meses, el tener que movilizar
las propias capacidades de ser madre, el nuevo
equilibrio que se crea en la pareja que espera el niño,
