In the event of a total denial, the abandonment of a baby most often occurs
In one of our articles, Doctor Fanny Jacq, a psychiatrist, explains that the abandonment of a baby most often occurs in the context of a denial of so-called “total” pregnancy, that is to say when the woman gives birth to a child without even knowing that she was pregnant. “In this case, she does not have time to organize and think about her decision, because the baby is already there”, explains the specialist. In case of denial of partial pregnancy, where the patient learns that she is waiting for a baby after the first trimester, “She has a few months to decide whether she keeps the child or not”. In this situation, the latter can be interested in different possible solutions, for example give birth under X, have your baby adopt or even turn to a voluntary termination of pregnancy.
Close pregnancies can also lead some mothers to abandon their child. “After having a baby, some women suffer from severe postpartum depression. If at that time, they again pregnant, they may not bear-and in particular at the time of childbirth-having another child. With exhaustion and hormonal fall, mothers can decide to abandon their newborn.”
