This is descriptive study, which aims at understanding the family members' point of view, regarding the pregnancy of an adolescent. The research was carried out in Mossoró-RN, in Conjunto Liberdade II. Fourteen families participated in the study and the sample of family members was constituted of nineteen people: thirteen mothers, a grandmother, two mothers-in-law, a father, a stepfather and a father-in-law. Among the results of the study, it was verified that the preoccupation with physical and emotional immaturity of the pregnant adolescents, as well as economic matters dominated in the discourses of a considerable number of family members; that the situational intrafamily crisis seemed to be solved with the evolution of pregnancy and the conflicts could be resolved earlier when the adolescent was able to establish a consensual union with her sexual partner. It was also observed that, in spite of the crisis the family was going through, solidarity among the family members overcame the negative emotional reactions and the initial interpersonal conflicts.
