A descriptive study whose sample was 50 mother students from the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Social Sciences. The results found reveal: a high rate of unplanned pregnancies (80%), the first source of support especially in single women is the family of origin. The conciliation of these roles has consequences for the academic performance of the mother student, there was not a right couple support in all the stages of pregnancy and maternity related to single women.
