Objective: to understand the Social Representations of planning and the desire to exercise motherhood. Method: qualitative, descriptive study, based on the Theory of Social Representations.10 adolescents who experienced pregnancy and drug use were interviewed. Data analysis was performed using Discursive Textual Analysis. Results: lack of knowledge about aspects of sexual life and use of contraceptives was observed. The drug occupied an empty space of loneliness and fear, a found way of dealing with life's problems. Although many did not plan the pregnancy, this process motivated the decrease in substance use/dependence. Conclusion: the study revealed the need for dialogue about the pregnancy process in adolescence and drug use, as well as the importance of research that problematize this public health problem.
