Resumo
The objective of this work is to investigate the processes of an early
pregnancy, emphasizing the plurality of motivations. The ethnography was
developed in the "Girls of Light Project" at the Dona Gercina Borges Teixeira
Social Center, where girls between the ages of twelve and twenty-one receive
care. Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews, during
nine months, there were follow-up to the gestational processes of twenty five
pregnant girls or already with the born babies. In recent years, adolescent
pregnancy has been considered a health problem in several countries and,
since the phenomenon has been passed on as a social problem, studies on
teenage pregnancy have increased significantly. Unlike official statistics and
social policies that treat teenage pregnancy as a serious social problem to be
avoided, the field data presented here point to the creation of a network of
affection and solidarity of family and friends when the girl becomes pregnant ,
boosting their life projects to better care for the child. They all value the
process they understand as maturation, brought about by motherhood. In this
dissertation there are also reports of experiences, the social ties involving
pregnant girls, their impressions, expectations, confrontations andfrustrations, which go far beyond this catastrophic notion. As part of the
reflection there is a discussion about the concept of adolescence, showing that
this age class is a recent and historical construction and that pregnancy in the
age group of what is now considered precocious, has always occurred in
society and still occurs.
