Pregnant at 14 | Teen Mom Story Study Break

Today, I interviewed Stav, teen mom and TikTok star. She describes her story as a teen mom, explaining how it felt when she first found out she was pregnant at 14. She explains the fear she felt telling those around her, specifically her mother. Stav later explains how she considered all three of her options: abortion, adoption, or keeping Vanessa (her daughter). Many obstacles were thrown at her, making her decision on whether or not to keep her baby even more complicated. She finally makes the decision to keep Vanessa as she lays on the hospital bed right after giving birth-- but then lawyers get involved?! Throughout the episode, we discuss how pregnancy was physically and emotionally demanding, especially for a 14 year old. Stay tuned for the second part of this series where we will be talking more about how Stav told Vanessa's father about her pregnancy, his reaction, teen mom stereotypes, sexual double standards, and why it is taboo to talk about sex and puberty.
