A qualitative research design was used. Participants were 15 unwanted pregnant teenagers, aged between 15 and 19 years. All participants were primiparous and interviewed at postpartum stage. A semi-structured in-depth interview was the main technique of data collection. Data was analyzed using the process of manifest content analysis. Five themes, nine categories, 19 subcategories emerged from the data analysis. The themes were: (1) circumstance leading to pregnancy was the failure of contraceptive use and lack of knowledge about reproductive health; (2) negative emotional reactions included worry about parents' rejection and being blamed by others; (3) boyfriend's reaction to the pregnancy had a big impact on teen girl's feelings toward the situation. The majority of the teenagers' pregnancies accepted a child in the womb. The couples did not consider termination of the pregnancy; (4) parent's seeking a solution to serve the family dignity by organizing wedding ceremony and collaboratively plans for the future; and (5) life changes after the pregnancy due to the strong concerns about being blamed by the society. Findings from this study suggest that teens should particiPate in sex education classes that are specific for teenagers to prevent becoming pregnant.
