It is important to know the biopsychosocial reality of these teenagers and analyze the factors involved in this repetition. A semistructured questionnaire was administered to 50 mothers aged between 12 and 18 years of age (mean 17 years old) in a Maternity School from Natal/RN. Results showed that 82% of them were not attending school, 62% were in a stable marriage and the family income of 68% did not exceed three minimum wages. The sexual initiation occurred at 13 years old and the distance between the first and current pregnancy were 1 to 12 months for 52% of interviewed. Therefore, early initiation in a sexual life, living with a partner and abandoning school can make teenagers vulnerable to repeated pregnancy and strengthen psychosocial risksAttribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/br/Gravidez na adolescênciaRepetição de gravidezRiscos psicossociaisPregnancy in adolescenceRepeated pregnancyPsychosocial risksarticle
