The feelings that come out during this period, that remains latent, or either "asleep" in the unconscious, when the person is five years old, becomes alive again at any moment whose situation is similar to this cited period. Thus, the pregnancy can be considered a situation, therefore the body and the behavior that the woman adopts in this phase raises in the man who assumes the paternity, the feelings of exclusion and envie. As a form to show them, the father feels similar sensations of his woman. Psychologycally, this phenomenum is called Complex of Couvade. This article confirms this prediction, when afirms that the pregnancy in the father raises the Complex of Édipo feelings and his body is used regressively to reveal old conflicts.
