Introduction: Teenage pregnancy is a relatively common event in Latin America and the Caribbean. The literature shows that the occurrence of this phenomenon can be associated with several damages caused in the lives of adolescents. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe some of the main characteristics of adolescents between 10 and 14 years old who are mothers. Methods: For this, data from Demographic Censuses from 2000 and 2010 were used. 33,346 adolescents in 2000 and 36,471 in 2010 who reported at less than one child were selected. Results: The data shown in most adolescents are black, live married or in an informal relationship and live in the north or northeast of the country. Conclusion: The results presented here show the urgency to understand the phenomenon so that the public power can carry out actions that prevent the occurrence of these births and promote the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents.
