What does a woman wantwhen pregnant? For such a classic question, an answer of the same nature: the health of the baby. In this research, the representation of the foetus body was the reference for examination of the regressive mechanisms found in the speech of 3 women in their last weeks of pregnancy. A half-guided interview was carried through with each one of them and the speech was analyzed in the light of the theoretical basis established in the works of Freud and Winnicott. During the gestation, as it happens during the sleep state, part of the psychic excitements has the course directed to a regressive way. Changeable concept, with multiple origins and a variety of destinations, Freud, since the Interpretation of the Dreams, had considered the regression as follows: topical, temporal, formal; libido of the ego versus libidinal; to the primary narcissism and the desires hallucination; to first objects versus the whole sexual organization and the regression of Ego. For Winnicott the mechanism is related to the regression of self to fusional states. Regarding the pregnancy, the works of Raquel Soifer and Marie Langer propitiated a psychoanalytical approach of the gestational experience in its fantasmatic, regressive and structuring aspects and the book Psychosomatic Obstetrics extended the field under the medical perspective. In the Psychoanalysis, guided for Bleichmar, Schneider, Simanke and Gurfinkel studies, aspects of the Winnicott and Freud works had gained greater detailing and originality. In those readings, the focus in the representation of the foetus body pointed towards the gestational fantasies, which, in turn, sent to emerging desires of the Edipian elaboration and the horror of the incest. A special psychic functioning must operate so that primitive desires can be evoked. In that special configuration, the discursive characteristic described by Schneider as cathartic speech, link its intensity to the need of one to try with, existing in the desire to see the baby: to see, to see herself, to see it, to be seen, to see and not to see, to see nothing, to see us. Universal necessity, it seems making reference to the gradual reduction of the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Thus, the concern with the health, that capture the attention of a woman, appears when the imagination, overloaded of images and affections, gives up. Between the ideal and the invisible Real, it remains the health, this full hiatus of dreams and fears, where is under tension, desire and mystery. Between exuberant conflicts that had involved the representation of the foetus body, the regression, source of disorganization of the Ego, presented itself as the source of transformation. When the psychms return to its bases, a moment of deep creation is reborn. When claiming the regression as the origin of the figurability, Freud presents its creative and constructive aspect; while in Winnicott the creativity lay down in the possibility of return to the state of primary not-integration, according to Gurfinkel, precursor of the Inform Concept.
