Becca was just 13 and dreaming of being a lawyer when she found she was pregnant, while Michelle had to cope as a single mum and is now expecting a second baby.

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 will 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.

15-year-old Becca was just 13 and dreaming of being a lawyer when she found out she was pregnant. The pregnancy came at the end of a two-year run of rebellious behaviour, all sparked by her dad Matt leaving and moving in with his new girlfriend and her three children. Now Matt is left to wonder if this is all his fault? Can Becca put the past behind her, focus on her GCSEs and follow her career dreams?

Life for 16-year-old Michelle has never been easy - after years of rows with her mum she moved in with her granddad at the age of 11 and found out she was pregnant three years later. With no support from the father, she had to cope as a single mum. But that all changed when she met 20-year-old mechanic Alex and after just two weeks together they found out she was expecting her second baby. Can Alex cope as father to both Tyler and his new daughter, and will motherhood bring Michelle and her own mum back together?
