Production

Manuela Dias delivered the synopsis of the plot in the first semester of 2017, and on 19 June of that year the project was approved to enter the queue of 9pm telenovelas for 2019. Originally the plot would be called ''Troia'', in reference to the mythological city, but the name was changed to ''Amor de Mãe'' (Mother's Love) to better express the central plot around the three mothers. Filming of the telenovela began in August 2019. Amor de Mãe was the first production to be filmed in Globo's newly opened MG4 studios. On 16 March 2020, it was announced that filming of the telenovela was suspended indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the final episode of the first part would air on 21 March 2020. Reruns of previous telenovelas currently occupy its timeslot. Filming resumed on 10 August 2020, with work pace being reduced to comply with safety guidelines. 23 episodes are planned to be filmed and will premiere in 2021. Part of the changes in production include actors arriving to the recording studios with their makeup and costumes ready. Those who need to travel for the studios are now staying in a hotel. Because of these changes, some actors were eliminated from the production, such as Alejandro Claveaux who portrayed Tales.
