Series which goes behind the sensational headlines to discover what it is really like to be underage and pregnant. Following a mix of schoolgirl mums and dads from varied backgrounds, the teens tell their own story of how their lives are transformed from pregnancy to birth and life with a baby.
As well as sharing their hopes and fears, viewers see how the pregnancy affects the rest of their world, from relationships with partners, friends and family to the impact on their education, body image and social life.
Zena has wanted a baby since she was eight years old. At 14 she fell in love with 17-year-old Chris and they started trying for their first child straight away. Eighteen months later, Zena finally fell pregnant and is well on her way to fulfilling her dream of being a full-time mum.
However, being pregnant is not as straightforward as she expected, she is plagued by worries of having a miscarriage or stillbirth and, just as she goes into labour, Chris becomes seriously ill.
