Abstract This is an ecological, descriptive, quantitative study, carried out in 2019, with data from the Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. It aims to characterize the profile of hospital admissions by age group in cases of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium in Sergipe, Brazil,  from 2013 to 2018. These represented 33% of all hospitalizations in the state, with an average cost of R$ 545.00, in women between 20 and 39 years old (48.6%), white (59.8%), character emergency care (99.6%), and more than half of these were in an ignored hospital regime (52.88%). In the case of teenage pregnancies, hospitalizations were significant (22.3%). In turn, there was a projection of decline in the younger age groups and growth in adult age groups (p <0.05). The data in this study can guide public policies and health strategies, especially in preventing teenage pregnancies.
