The process of becoming a mother for a first time generates mixed feelings and may feel that she does not have the capacity to face this new maternal role. This story of a primigestant at age 35, allows to reveal important information for the approach of care. The objective was to describe the experience of a first-time at 35 years of age, identifying which aspects she perceived as favouring in the process of becoming a mother. The biographical account was used. The in-depth interview allows you to describe and interpret this information. The methodology proposed by Amezcua and Bone was followed. Four major themes were identified: feelings, perceptions, expectations; changes in life; Support and knowledge. Nursing care must respond to people's real needs and one way to approach that reality is the qualitative approach, which serves as input for the design of congruent nursing interventions.
