The mother-baby bond starts in the womb and is influenced by both personal and cultural aspects. This study’s objective is to investigate the representation of teenagers and older first time mothers in relation to her fetus through semi-structured interviews and Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure of Trinca. This qualitative study was applied on 14 pregnant women aged between 15 and 44 years. Both older and younger mothers showed representation difficulty that may be associated with maternal ambivalence, and the belief of child being an autonomous subject. The results indicate the importance of providing those moms means of support and listening during pregnancy where these issues can be more easily developed.
