The main results of the thematic analysis and cross-case synthesis were: the presence of gender stereotypes with significant absence of paternal function, dysfunctional parent styles, transgenerational occurrences in terms of patterns of relationship, helplessness, violence and pregnancy in adolescence itself, as well as family structures with borders's pathologies. It was concluded that the planning of the pregnancy in this period of the life cycle carries important family aspects that need to be considered in preventive and interventional processes, in order to interrupt vicious dysfunction family's cycles.
