This text proposes to analyse some ideological elements of pregnancy contraction in older women. To achieve the expected results, in addition to the literature review, we used the interview guide and the actors' life stories. This has enabled us to arrive at the results according to which the ideologies of "social stability" and "the ideal man" as prerequisites for motherhood, and then of attachment to religious values through the observance of dogmas of purity and continence, contribute to the construction of the contraction of pregnancy in women in old age. Finally, the care-patient relationship built around trust makes it possible to deconstruct the taboo once perceived about sex, whose stakes are reproduction, health and life.
