- Abstract
Objective: to identify the meaning of motherhood and social support networks with adolescent mothers. Method: it is a descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, developed in a Family Health Unit in the city of Patos/PB, Brazil, with 13 adolescent mothers. Data collection took place through techniques of ethnographic observation and interview. Results: Most of the interviewees lived with a partner, and only three were studying. They had the support of the family in the gestation and postpartum, especially of the mothers and the partner. In Primary Care, the access was only to prenatal consultations and a puerperal visit. Criticism of maternity cares for delayed labor and delivery. Conclusion: the results showed that social support was the focus on kinship relationships and adolescent pregnancy should be studied beyond negative stereotypes. It is expected to contribute with subsidies for actions of Public Policies in Collective Health for assistance to adolescent mothers.
