Riskesdas 2018 recorded 2,867 teenage pregnancies (10-19 years) and 15 of them were aged 10-14 years. BPS Indonesia reported that the average number of teenage births in Indonesia in 2018 was 36 births/1000 births, while in Jambi Province it was 46 births/1000 births.

One of the highest contributing health centers is the Puskesmas Putri Ayu, where in the period 1-31 August 2022, 30 teenage pregnancies (16-19 years) were recorded. This study is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach to explore teenagers' experiences of adapting to pregnancy. Data collection was carried out from 08 December 2022 to 23 January 2023. The selection of participants was carried out using a purposive sampling technique of 7 teenage mothers. Data collection was carried out by means of triangulation (interviews, observations and documentation) which were recorded and recorded in field notes.
