History shows that, in ancient times, people with disabilities were sacrificed or delivered to care entities and, even creating the idea of maternal love and family's understanding as the main institution to take responsibility for childcare, it was necessary much time for the child with disabilities to become part of their family. Psychoanalysis contributed to the contemporary conception of the importance of the mother's role. Thus, to understand the development of the subject, it is necessary to look at the care given to him at the beginning of his life. When becoming a mother, a woman must develop her role in many interpersonal relationships, such as divergences between the actual and imagined baby and changes in her psychic dynamics so that she can exercise the primary maternal concern. This study aims for the emotional experience of maternity in mothers of babies with physical disability; it seeks to identify and understand factors involved in this context in order to contribute to the practice of professionals who work with this population. A clinical-qualitative study was carried out with three mothers whose children attended a Rehab Center. A semi-guided interview and application of the Thematic Apperception (TAT) was made and the data obtained were grouped into categories of analysis and discussed from Psychoanalysis. The results bring themes that can be used with these mothers during the rehabilitation period of their child, such as feelings, defense mechanisms and their relationship with their baby. In conclusion, it is extremely important that the rehabilitation center attends the emotional demand of the mothers and provide them appropriate forms of care.
