| Summary: | This qualitative study aimed to describe the experiences of young mothers in Pampanga on repeated adolescent pregnancy, their responses to these experiences, and the benefits and challenges brought by these responses. Employing the phenomenological research design and the narrative methodological approach, the study made use of data collected through face-to-face interviews with fifteen (15) young mothers from Pampanga who have experienced repeated adolescent pregnancy to come up with narrative and thematic analyses. As answers to the research questions, themes that emerged from this study were “positivity amid the negativity brought by repeated pregnancy” and “old connections, new unions”; “helping keep both mommy and baby healthy”; “moving on towards motherhood”, and “needing a village to raise a child (or two)”; as well as “blending families into a new loving home” and “thinking of the past, addressing the present, fearing for the future.” Both a biological and social phenomenon, repeated adolescent pregnancy has a ripple effect as it heightens and widens the pregnancy experiences and responses of the young mother and her social layers. |
