Considering that official statistics indicate that the incidence of teenage pregnancy is notoriously higher for these social sectors, we have chosen to find out their opinions and assessments on the sexual and reproductive practices that have led them, or not, to the situation of pregnancy and motherhood. Analyzing the empirical material collected, it is possible to affirm that, in severe conditions of exclusion, with insufficient family containment and scarce cultural capital, the adolescents interviewed present a disposition to carry out sexual practices that lead them not to avoid pregnancy, and that are strongly influenced by traditional and patriarchal values regarding the role of women. On the contrary, when adolescent women have higher levels of cultural capital, they firmly dispute the repetitive tendencies of the traditional "class habitus" and present life projects directed to study and work. Nos proponemos contribuir a la comprensión de la ocurrencia del embarazo adolescente de las mujeres de sectores de menores ingresos del Gran Mendoza, como parte de las estrategias de vida en el marco de condiciones materiales de existencia fuertemente impactadas por las escasas oportunidades laborales y por las dificultades para sostenerse en el sistema educativo. Teniendo en cuenta que las estadísticas oficiales indican que la incidencia del embarazo adolescente es notoriamente superior para esos sectores sociales, hemos optado por conocer sus opiniones y valoraciones sobre las prácticas sexuales y reproductivas que las han conducido, o no, a la situación de embarazo y maternidad. Analizando el material empírico recabado es posible afirmar que, en condiciones severas de exclusión, con insuficiente contención familiar y escaso capital cultural, las adolescentes entrevistadas presentan una disposición a llevar adelante prácticas sexuales que las conducen a no evitar los embarazos, y que son influenciadas fuertemente por valores tradicionales y patriarcales en cuanto al rol de la mujer. Por el contrario, cuando las mujeres adolescentes cuentan con mayores niveles de capital cultural, disputan con firmeza las tendencias repetitivas del “habitus de clase” tradicional y presentan proyectos de vida direccionados al estudio y al trabajo.
