Based upon twenty years of experience in the perinatal field, the author considers the question of the intimate and intimacies during the perinatal period. Indeed, this clinic calls for the utmost intimacy: first, in terms of the embryo, which develops as a fetus and a baby, and then becomes a subject who questions his or her parents about what they will become; but also for the caregivers of the institution, who will share this very intense emotional period. Thus, accepting to give life and supporting it is tantamount to consenting to the existence of an intimate, murky, even dark part of motherhood. Also, caregivers, in the intimacy of the transferential relationship, are led to support perinatal “crises,” in the same way as with adolescence or aging, without drawing hasty conclusions at the psychopathological level, but instead through an approach of prevention and reception of the utmost intimacy.
