Abstract
Objective: To investigate the perception of pregnant adolescents about precocious pregnancy. Method: The qualitative approach was an exploratory one, evaluated by means of data obtained from field research in a Family Health Strategy (ESF) unit in Pratinha neighborhood, Bengui Health Administrative District (DABEN), municipality Belém / PA, in 2017, after approval by the research ethics committee. The sample consisted of eleven pregnant adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years through a semi-structured interview. Results: The study resulted in three categories: Perceptions of pregnant adolescents about being a young mother, change in daily life, and prejudices and difficulties in being a teenage mother. The results indicated that among the eleven interviewed, the majority declared themselves to be brown with incomplete secondary education. Conclusion: Unplanned early pregnancy directly and negatively impacted the lives of adolescents, being related to the information deficit and prevention. It is necessary to expand the study to understand the sensitive listening on the theme and other repercussions for family planning.
