  • i used to love watching this, it was always interesting and there were always people on there who i thought were so brave but since being pregnant i havent wanted to watch it.

  • I Loved this programme but watching one of the teen mums give birth now that did scare the crap out of me.

  • I fink programmes like this is a good way to give young girls an isnight on how teen mums cope every day as it doesn't glamourize it.

  • i dislike some of these teen pregnancy programms as some (especially american ones) the teens are usually leaving there responibilites as a mum and pawning there child off to their parents which i think is disgusting

  • It was a good programme but it would have been nice to see different scenarios. I felt that most the girls stories were similar, but it gave me an insight and was intresting to see how teen mums cope.

  • I Didnt Get To See This But Would Love To Watch It, Are They Replaying It, Or Will It Be On Demand?

    by 6 June 2010

    by HayleyBaby93 26 March 2010

  • Loved It!! :)

    by Smarties 15 March 2010

  • I thought this was brilliant & they're doing another series :D xx

    by Babycakes_x 23 February 2010

  • I watched it too, it was a good series, good to see other ppl going through the same stuff more or less. Is there going to be a second series? I would love to watch more as I started watching half way through the series I think. But also on MTV theres a programme called 16 pregnant (american girls though) and its pretty much the same, which is dead good. And there doing a second series for that one atm. I look forward to watching. :-)

    by alisha-x 20 February 2010

  • i watched it made me feel more confident:-)does anyone know when the new series start?x

    by 19 February 2010

  • when was this from? is it still on? i think it is good because then people get to see others stories. i have seen one called 16 and pregnant but they are all american. its on mtv on sundays at 10pm i think but its still really intresting xx

    by FrancescaC 13 January 2010

  • good program i think all young girls should be made to watch that in school!

    by EmilyRose 20 December 2009

  • was great programme i no im not alone

    by K_Giggles 20 November 2009

  • really good programme to have watched love seein that i am nt the only one who was a young mum :)

    by xxmummyxx 9 November 2009

  • i loved watching the programme :).

    by Naomi555 4 November 2009

  • i enjoyed the programmes but def think that some of the mums need to grow up! and some of the grandparents had a bit to much input! especially if they are doing most of the care for the baby! but you could see that some had really made the best out of things!

    by teresacharl 20 October 2009

  • I thought the episodes were brill, because each one of the covered different aspects of teen pregnancy, such as single mams, post-natal depresion, how the familys reacted etcetc

    by nikkinixon 18 October 2009

  • Most mums on this show were just media stereotypes of young parents...

    by Bunny89 18 October 2009

  • i watched it and thought it was brilliant, i give it all to young mums out there, i still think that young dads need to grow up and face to there responsibilities.

    by Sarah1987 17 October 2009

  • I did see this although useful to young mums some of the young mums on this and the young dads let the side down really badly. Having a baby young isn't easy as many of us know too many people look down on you and when they see people acting childish on programmes like this we all get stereotyped , i do have to agree with statistics young mums can cope better than what people think. xo

    by mummy0f2 16 October 2009

  • i watched all of them but thought a couple of them really needed to grow up x

    by carlaxx 15 October 2009

  • i watched some off the new mums only wanted a baby so they cud have something to love an baby would love it bk , it showed everyone being a mum is harder then it looks

    by kirstyyy 15 October 2009

  • i think this show made the the viewers believe all the bad things about teenage mums was true ... VERY BAD EXAMPLE OF YOUNG PARENTS!

    by gillhugh 15 October 2009

  • i really liked watchin it! x

    by Yolanda 14 October 2009

  • i enjoyed watching the programme

    by Natalie111 14 October 2009

  • I really enjoyed it, I was a bit suprised by some of the attitudes or statements some of the young mums made, and they seemed very niave some of them, but Im sure i was too... Wish I'd caught more of it though...

    by poshpig 14 October 2009

  • loved it

    by Aylas_mum 14 October 2009

  • I enjoyed the programme alot it made me see reality of been a teenage mum.

    by ishaa--x 14 October 2009

  • I enjoyed it... can't believe how childish some of the teens are, when I think to when I first went through it all I was more mature. But then you see the other girls coping so well, and it's like a big poster with uevery teen mum in it sticking there fingers up to everyone who reckons were reckless and can't cope!

    by 14 October 2009

  • I like parts of this programme, i purely watch it to be nosey really :p But i do feel they pick some of the erm..."not the best" young mum's to put people off becoming young parents which i suppose is good in a way?! Some of the things they say make them look a bit stupid though!!

    by LittleMumma 14 October 2009

  • I enjoyed watching it and seeing other peoples experiences

    by xkaybx 14 October 2009

  • i think the programme is good to watch apart from some of the annoyin mums & dads !

    by Ashleigh 14 October 2009

  • missed it :(

    by fantastica 12 October 2009

  • oh and anyone know when series 2 is on?

    by annawrigley 12 October 2009

  • i liked watching it,however i did not like a lot of the young mums (and dads) on it lol. some of them were doing very well but most just relied on their parents and seemed to think it was one big joke...

    by annawrigley 12 October 2009

  • i liked the program but some of the things the mums and dads said got on my nerves.

    by katie_18 11 October 2009

  • i think they couldve used teenage mums who cared more about their babies, and didnt rely on their parents for everything.

    by SIDS_Aware 11 October 2009

  • I liked the show but i sometimes get annoyed with the people on it because its people like some of them that give other teen mums a bad image

    by ConnorsMummy 10 October 2009

  • Why Cant they put som1 who actualy cares about their babies on tv! I Went to a young mums school in bolton and the documentry was called truance... they interviewed us and because our attendance was soo good they wouldnt put it on! it ways it all girls dont it!! Xx

    by Emily_Kate 6 October 2009

  • I like this programme because i thought i was young havin my baby at 17.. it just gives you that bit of confidence to show that your not the only one! x

    by Jess08 6 October 2009

  • i got annoyed watching the one with the twins, i was so upset when the second twin fell pregnant and i honestly think she did it for attention and never thought about it, and some of the dad's and mum's did annoy me, there was a girl whose mum did everything for her quit her job and done all the night feeds which i feel shouldn't be done because it's her responsibilitie x

    by Sarah-Grace 5 October 2009

  • This has been a really good series; hopefully it will have sent a positive message to the wider society who have very pre-formed ideas on "teenage mums"

    by MsMidwife 4 October 2009

  • I have never been able to see it as don't live in the UK. But over here the one thing I like about our programs that I HEAR (don't know if it's true or not) that your programs don't show is that we always have strong determined AMAZING moms on them. At least all the ones I have seen such as 16 and pregnant. All the moms on there were informed and very level headed. Or so it seemed. Well accept one but she just needed to grow up and not rely on being babied so much.

    by Kellysays2u 4 October 2009

  • I love this programme, however i do get annoyed sometimes at some of the mums and dads on it. Does anyone know how many months/weeks the girl in the picture is? She looks AMAZING! x

    by Christineeex 3 October 2009

  • I love this programme!

    by Antonia 3 October 2009

  • i think the programme is good, i like to see young mums who still have drive and ambition to achieve in life like education.
