Lo que no dice tu boca, lo representa tu cuerpo : maternidad como conflicto, madres en la etapa de lactancia.

Abstract

The present qualitative research aimed to understand the coping strategies of a group of nursing mothers, from the framework of the postulates proposed by the New German Medicine (NGM), to this end it is necessary to recognize a shock in the lives of these women, understanding motherhood as a conflict in the face of the various circumstances that arise as a result of the conception of their child, such as the social pressure faced with the difficulty of verbalizing the reality of being a mother and the emotional dilemmas that converge in breastfeeding that in conjunction with this stage of the life cycle, moves away from the imaginaries of both mother and society and is accompanied by the uncertainty generated by the different realities in this process. To fulfill the aims of this research, we understand the importance of mothers' experiences, for this reason we incorporate the semi-structured interview and the focus group to understand the relevance of the environment, from social constructionism as an epistemological framework.The results showed different positions regarding how mothers understand and live their motherhood, allowing them to understand the different coping strategies they employ and the resources used to face the difficulties of being mothers and living in a pandemic. Common coping strategies among the participants were recognized, such as faith, strength, patience and support from close relatives. Thus allowing to raise the psychosomatization, understood from the position of González (2013): "it realizes the profound influence that emotions, life experiences and even cognitive processes exert on our body" (p.45) supported from the postulate of Viktor Frankl in the 1920s, taken up in the article by Vecco (2012) which involves a holistic view of the human being from a biopsychosocial perspective, posing organic compensation as a primary basis.
