Resumo: The voices of Cape Verdean migrant student mothers in Portugal are examined in the light of Archer’s (2003) theory on the ‘inner dialogue’. The article frames the mothers as complex social actors who respond to the uncertainties surrounding unplanned pregnancy through self-reflection and dialogue with and about the world, turning the disorientation of unexpected motherhood into a meaningful project. The analysis reveals how the women’s agency is located within the wider influences of kinship and gender norms and how these are already negotiated in the case of unconfirmed pregnancy.

It began as a post-doctoral grant (SFRH/BPD/36914/2007), and was then funded within the ambit of the Programa Ciencia 2008 (CONT_DOUT/119/CRIA/4038/10779/1/2008) and the project "Care as Sustainability in Crisis Situations" (PTDC/CS-ANT/117259/2010) within the strategic project of CRIA (PEst-OE/SADG/UI4038/2014).
