This discussion of Katie Gentile's paper (this issue) raises questions about the underlying unconscious dynamics at work in the cultural icon of the supermodel mom. The “supermodel mom” offers a kind of seamless, bloodless, stretch-mark-less version of pregnancy and childbirth. In so doing, it provides us with a fantasied escape from those worrying dimensions of the female body in childbirth. On a deeper level this fantasied construction offers a means by which time is stalled, both future and past being eradicated and manically fended off. Using a clinical example of a woman pregnant with her second child, the article explores in detail some of the meanings kept alive by the idea of triumphing over pregnancy. The terror of the pregnancy and baby taking over one's body and one's mind is part of what is staved off with the fantasy of the supermodel mom. In addition, this fantasy protects against loss of all kinds—ultimately the losses associated with our own vulnerabilities.
