This confronting series goes behind the sensational headlines to discover what it’s really like to be Underage and Pregnant. Following a mix of schoolgirl mums and dads the teens tell their own story of how their lives are transformed from pregnancy to birth and life with a baby. Pregnancy has a massive affect on their world, from relationships with partners, friends and family to the impact on their education, body image and social life. In this exceptionally honest series the young mum’s admit their hopes, fears and struggles from juggling schoolwork to wondering how they will afford nappies on their pocket money budgets.

    This is to Belinda toth. - you are an idiot! Ive recently turned 18 and am pregnant, i am with the father of my child which makes it a stable relationship. Just because your young doesn't mean that your not going to do a good job.

    I think beccy is such a spoiled brat and should never have had sex let alone a baby. Her child is overweight as is she and she doesn't love her son at all. She should have him taken away from her it's not like she wants him any way. She is so selfish and there are plenty of people who will take care of her responsibilities for her because she's too selfish to do it her self. Her age is nothing to do with it she is just a horrible excuse for a mother and the child deserves better. He'll stand a chance of having a good life if he is taken away from her!

    My sis is five months pregnant, working full time and is married. Isn't that the way you're supposed to do it? Holy ... it scares me that this show is actually a reality. I'm 37 with no kids because I don't think that I should have kids out of a stable relationship!!!!

    I think this show is very good. I think that it should be shown to teenagers in schools and youth groups to show the harsh reality of parent hood. I was 20 when I fell pregnant and I thank God that I wasn't 15/16. It is not easy being a single mum but encourage all the girls on the show and in this position to keep going. You can be anything you want. Having a baby doesn't have to hold you back! I saw an excellent episode last week of a girl who is 15, the father of her baby died not long after she fell pregnant. She has started an organisation in his honor, and is raising money to build a skate park. Her pregnancy hasn't held her back!

    I normally would not comment on a site such as this. I have watched this show and "although" I don't like it. It does "tell it like it is". Any young female that feels it necessary to become pregnant, to fill a void in her life, obviously, has been passed over. A sad, but relevant truth in todays society. Does she secretly know, that even though she is educated, that she will indeed join the masses of females that are the mass recipient of 80% of minimum wage earners?. That only 2% of women actually make it into corporate life?. Does she therefore decide, that she can't compete and naturally withdraws herself from the other female competitors?. Only women, climb the corporate ladder, to "pull it up" behind them to stop other female usurpers. Is it therefore easier and a softer option, to do a "job" a chimp could do, for no wages and already overpower a heavily populated planet?.

    This show highlights how unappreciated and unloved our daughters are. We give them no "life skills", we don't teach them independence, self respect or how to be assertive or how to "be confident in their own skin". We berate, criticise, and subjugate them. We give them less, while expecting them to do more and wonder why they rebel?. I have noticed, that ALL these young girls "have something to say", but lack the means to express how. Their only outlet to "express" themselves, is by saying "hey, I have some ovaries here and they work !". It's the "Hey, look at me, I need attention and recognition" response. It's really sad. It causes nothing but madness and an ongoing disaster. How can a "mixed up female teen" possibly be a good parent, when all she has ever wanted was a "Fair go" in life. Having a baby, is the complete opposite. She will be judged, condemned and ridiculed. The whole senario is doomed to failure. A life of poverty, a misspent youth and a complete waste of her intelligence. The birth control pill was the greatest invention because it allows females to "try before you buy", so why are these young women "allowing" their bodies to used as a dumping ground?. The whole thing is really sad. I PERSONALLY BLAME the parents. If a girl is willful and wants independence, then give it to her. You do it to your sons.... so stop the double standard. Educate your daughter, listen to her. Allow her access to the same finances you willingly offer to your son.

      Ive never in all my life as a nurse or as a woman heard of a condom properly used breaking. And then for (ridiculously unlikely) situations like that we are fortunate enough to have 'the morning after pill' available... I think Suzanne is making a reasonable point... :)

      Some of these girls have had sex education and many of them fell pregnant because a condom broke. You said that, "If a girl is willful and wants independence; give it to her." That has been some of the problems that have been faced by these parents. They have given their daughters and sons the independence to make their own decisions and in turn a baby has been born! The parents can only do so much. I was 20 when I had my son. I am a single mother. My parents gave me sex education and I knew that if I have sex their is a chance for me to fall pregnant, and I did it anyways! There is only so much your parents can do... And once a girl (no matter what her age) has had a baby its her responsibility, her parents can't be expected to raise the child. If she thinks she is old enough to have a child, she is old enough to look after it.
