Medicine uses a scientific processes which, when possible, is objective. Psychology relies on the subjective personal experience of the person. They rejoin in that each takes the person into consideration with his individual sensitivity. The non medical manner of approaching pregnancy consists of taking into consideration at the same time the psychological experiences stimulated by the desire to have a child, the pregnancy, the birth, the post-partum in conjunction with the psychological affective need of the trio: mother, father and baby. This article considers, in a succinct manner, the mother's psychological experience of pregnancy and the psychological life of the baby in uterus. Next the author discusses Loving Preparation for Birth in its three aspects: relational games with the baby in uterus, psychological-affective preparation for labor and delivery, and the loving accompaniment of the baby by games after birth.
