The results were presented in a descriptive way, using graphics and analysis as support, in which it was noticed that most interviewees would like to have a more present support network, therefore, mothers enjoy strategies to have the most productive day and already faced and/or still face some kind of external judgment for the choice of their profession versus motherhood, demonstrating that there is still a prejudice about such choices.
