Abstract

The aim was to understand the experience
resulting from pregnancy interrupted by the premature
birth of the baby requiring hospitalization in the Neonatal
Unit. It is a phenomenological investigation with a
Heideggerian framework, undertaken in December 2010
– May 2011, through interviews held with seven mothers
whose children were hospitalized in the neonatal unit
of a teaching hospital. In relation to the fact of having
a pre-term baby who needed to be hospitalized, the
women indicated pregnancy-related health problems
which led to the premature birth, and want to understand
what is happening. Furthermore, they continue to be
frightened even when they are accustomed to their child’s
hospitalization. As a result, it is necessary to make possible
a dialogic relationship and a relationship of support for
the mothers so that they may develop strategies for reestablishing the bond with the baby and the care for the
specific demands posed by prematurity.
