| Abstract | |
This work presents a research with adolescents in the first pregnancy and becoming mothers, until five months after delivery, using a specialized public service, offered by the city of Santos, SP, Brazil. The study investigates the self perception of the adolescents, using psychoanalytical references and working with three instruments of research: questionnaires, self portrait drawings and interviews in depth. The results of the 82 questionnaires with pregnant adolescents indicated difficulties with formal education prior to the pregnancy, valorized mother figures, negatively evaluated father figures, no objection to the pregnancy and that it has occurred during the dates with the boyfriends. The analysis of 150 self portraits from pregnant adolescents pointed out to signals of ambivalence, self image not much damaged, tendency to make a self portrait in a moment close to the present, self portraits prior to the pregnancy with few signals of conflicts, portraits of pregnants indicating signals of anguish and self portraits prior to the delivery with compensatory evidence. The analysis of the interviews in depth with 10 adolescents mothers indicated pregnancy related to social benefits, great increasing in the mother figures, as well as aggression to the father figures and to the fathers of the babies (better idealized before), indication of provoked pregnancy, fair knowledge about contraceptive methods, sexual life with few obstacles, some complaints about not going out anymore, same relationship with the studies as they had prior to the pregnancy and a careful relationship with the babies. The pregnancy does not seem perceived in a negative way for these adolescents, belonging to the poorer segments of the urban population, rather it can be related to social benefits, during the period of pregnancy and in the beginning months of the babys life.
