Summary

In this communication I am going to present three images or metaphors ; that are very much used to represent a pregnant woman´s body: a) pregnancy as ; fusion; b) pregnancy as invasion; c) pregnancy as a divided body. These metaphors coexist and evoke the social ways in which maternity and the mother-child relationship are understood.
