The study presented here went a different pathfrom those that have been followed for the studyof teenage pregnancy. Above all, we tried to give voice to theprotagonists of adolescent pregnancy, the youngwomen who become pregnant early. Thus, research trajectories were proposed thatwent through the adequacy of established methodologies of sociological research context and a particular type of subject. We tried to study the experiences of adolescentmothers/fathers, based on their stories, their vocabulary,categories and terms with which they describethe reality of their lives. We seek to explore themes that require attentionto the voice of the actors and the listening of theactors.The study reflects and focuses on theexperiences of teenage pregnancy. The fact that early pregnancy is a challenge tothe development of young women that can openup unimagined life paths for them, and the fact that teenage pregnancy isa phenomenon with great expression in Portugal are at the origin of the definition of the object ofthis investigation We were interested in analyzing the experiences of young women/expectant mothers and fathers of babies.
