Reflections about the analyst'S mindset during pregnancy. As is the case with several events in her real life, the analyst's pregnancy entails a series of transformations: physical, emotional and relational. On the one hand, these changes can modify the mindset of the analyst while working with her patients, on the other, they can bring to the surface specific issues. Through clinic exemplifications, the authors offer some observations on the possibility of taking into consideration the feelings the experience of pregnancy can arouse in the analytic working couple and, at the same time, of using this very specific moment to serve the analytic treatment.

KEYWORDS: Neutrality, pregnancy, pre-symbolism, primary maternal preoccupation, self-disclosure.
