Ashleigh's rocky relationship with boyfriend Ryan may be affecting her baby's upbringing.

Ashleigh wonders if her rocky relationship with boyfriend Ryan will hurt her baby's upbringing, while pregnant Sophie's idle ways are worrying her family.

16-year-old Ashleigh and her 19-year-old boyfriend Ryan are expecting their first child. Ashleigh's mum lives abroad and her dad with his new family, so she grew up with her grandma in Norfolk. Ashleigh is determined that her child will have a stable and happy childhood with the involvement of both parents. But over the last months, Ashleigh and Ryan's relationship has hit the rocks and their constant arguing has led Ashleigh to question whether it's fair on their child to continue with relationship.
With the pressures of parenthood upon them, will the young couple salvage their relationship and give their child the start in life Ashleigh so badly craves?
 
Sophie, Ashleigh's best friend, discovered at 15 that she too was expecting a baby, due just seven weeks after her friend. Sophie lives at home with her family and 17-year-old fiancé and father of her baby, Connor. Neither Sophie nor Connor have a job and her hardworking parents have re-mortgaged their home so Sophie's baby will want for nothing. Despite all this Sophie is incredibly lazy and expects everyone else to run around after her. Will motherhood put and end to Sophie's idle ways?
