This article aims to bring a psychoanalytical perspective to the cases in which a wish so ordinary that is giving birth to a child turn into a long, hard, painful road and evoke traumatic outcomes; in other words, cases of infertility. The reason why some people can't have children; how a woman decides and wishes to be a mother and what happens when this wish-fulfillment fails was discussed in psychoanalytical terms. In most of the cases two things are frequently observed: a threatening and insecure relationship with mother, and exclusion of a partner and therewithal paternal function. If the concept of having a child is a substitute for her narcissistic needs, then it'll get harder to become a mother.
