The experience of pregnancy depends on the stage of the life cycle, its planning, family support, and economic resources. At early ages, pregnancy conditions aspects such as the social, economic, and educational levels of mothers, fathers, and children. A qualitative study was carried out, with an interpretative approach, and framed in the grounded theory. We conducted 27 interviews to 19 mothers and 8 fathers who were university students. The sampling was done through the snowball technique. Results showed that only one pregnancy was planned. For men and women, it was difficult to assimilate the news. However, they accepted it with the progress of the pregnancy. There were repercussions on the academic performance, alterations in health, and economic concerns. In conclusion, pregnancy in college students produces alterations in their life project and brings with it the adoption of new and multiple roles that make more complex the successful completion of their higher education, exposing them to processes of retention or dropout.
