- Summary:
- Although conception rates for the under eighteens are at their lowest for twenty years Britain still has the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Western Europe. Portrayed in the press as gymslip mums and benefits scroungers, teenage mothers often find themselves the brunt of society's prejudices. Behind the statistics and the stereotypes there are teenage mothers who cope admirably and others who struggle to deal with the consequences of their actions. To find out what life is really like for pregnant teenagers, we follow two young mums to be in the weeks before the birth of their babies: Kevani who is pregnant and in care, and Adelle who has found that the support of her family has proved vital in coping with the stress of having a baby and finding somewhere to live.
