Adolescence is the age of crises, changes, adaptation to the new body and new attitudes towards life. If we add to this the meaning of pregnancy from personal, social and family points of view, we will understand how difficult it can be for the adolescents. The purpose of this study was to identify where the pregnant teenagers look for support. Results showed that they had family support, mainly from parents, and less frequently from the baby's father. It also showed the pregnancy acceptance, its relation to school abandonment, the girls' idealized vision of pregnancy and future expectations, the concern about biological aspects and the lack of concern about real problems.
