Resumo
The present study aimed to analyze, from a psychoanalytic perspective and through the
narrative of the construction of her motherhood, the subjective experience of a woman who
became a mother in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. We know that the pandemic scenario
has caused important psychosocial transformations around the world. In the specific context of
motherhood, the pandemic experience brought unique challenges for women who gave birth
during this period. Therefore, to achieve the proposed objective, we based the research on
psychoanalytic theory. The bond between mother and baby is fundamental for the individual's
psychological development, and the experience of motherhood is marked by unconscious
conflicts and fantasies related to identification, narcissism, and sexuality. During the pandemic,
the experience of motherhood was even more challenging, as mothers had to face a series of
difficulties, including fear of contagion, difficulty accessing medical care, and lack of social
and emotional support. To deepen the study of this experience, we used the case study as a
research method and narrative interviews as a way of apprehending the maternal subjective
experience. In the analyzed case, the interviewee shows the ambivalences of motherhood;
however, she finds in her experience with her son, in the mother-baby bond, a contour for a
void resulting from her life history and the pandemic context. With this study, we were able to
conclude that the social and emotional effects of the Covid-19 pandemic involved the
potentiation of conflicts and issues present in the participant's life history for her experience
with motherhood. Therefore, we highlight the importance that psychological intervention had
on the interviewee's experience, who mentioned several times how this process of confronting
her insecurities and anxieties in a welcoming space was important to elaborate her conflicts.
