18 pregnant teens ages 16-19 who were getting pregnancy for the first time consented to the study. They were asked to talk about "variety of their life during their gestation period", and participated in a semi-structured interview. Qualitative analysis of the data obtained identified 6 categories : "Mixture of pleasure and conflict for pregnancy", " Acceptance of family members", "The uncertain future", "Patience as a mother", "Immature awareness as a mother", "Awakening as a mother". 13 teenage mothers who were 1 month postpartum consented to the study continuously. They were asked to talk about "variety of their life during child caring", and participated in a semi-structured interview. Qualitative analysis of the data obtained identified 6 categories :"Giving priority to their baby", "Taking shelter from child-care-pressure","Anxiety about husbandry","Their mother's powerful support","Helping each other in teenage mothers","Preparation to leave their parents' home".
