This is an ethnographic study that aims to understand the experience of adolescents during pregnancy and birth process of their child. The method used for data collection was semi-structured interviews and participant observation. In data collection there were field notes. The interviews were transcribed, transcreated in a narrative way, identifying the critical vital tones. The construction of narratives derived from the organization of the categories from the perusal of the data, which resulted in the development of three themes. The process of health-resilience was characterized from the interweaving of the themes developed, and the social support offered to adolescents encourage the changes necessary to the full personal development of the pregnant woman, who becomes a teenage mother responsible, careful, free to take decisions and aware of their role in society.
