Doctor : it is because she is pregnant Gail : shocked pikachu face

[@theahendry1897]

Now it’s Amy who’s pregnant under age

[@deilhif8522]

Gary Pendleton I think the intention was always to raise awareness and to help people with similar situations. Faye gave birth but the baby lives with its paternal grandparents. Sarah-Lou kept and raised Bethany on her own. Amy was thinking about abortion. There are many teens across the world who will end up pregnant - especially in Britain so I think these kind of programs are trying to represent different circumstances that people deal with. I think nowadays though it’s becoming more of a shock factor or just lazy story writing

[@deilhif8522]

Gary Pendleton the thing is about teen pregnancy is that it’s rarely intended. Most teenagers are having sex and nobody talks about it and it’s not seen in such a negative way. However, if a condom was to break its seen as scandalous and shameful. I agree that they are giving it positive attention but I don’t believe teen parents should be made to feel ashamed. I think they [writers] should perhaps produce storylines focused on a teenaged girl asking her mum to go on the pill rather than pretending that teenagers don’t have sex at all. That would hopefully speak to the audience and offer them alternatives and a more guaranteed option for birth control. What are your thoughts?

[@deilhif8522]

Gary Pendleton I also agree that MTV glorified the life of a teenage parent

[@thelonelymalecshipperjesus9526]

Omg lol ikr !

[@ellianixxxx17]

[@samanthawithee2303]

I would of been homeless after my mom found that

[@philipdalton1000s]

But legally a 13-year-old is still supposed to be living in the family home, or else cared for by someone at least over 21. It would therefore be classed as criminal neglect to turn them out onto the streets.

[@Adam657]

What kind of physical examination that a GP can do can diagnose pregnancy? You at least need a urine screen or blood test...

[@tara8388]

At 5 months gone a simple feel of the abdomen

[@kamelotroxx]

They did those tests I think

[@TheKairiAngel]

My gp knew how far I was at 6 weeks by simply feeling my stomach

[@freddieh8554]

Abdomen, boobs swell ankles swell

[@deilhif8522]

I know this is late but... almost as soon as you become pregnant you’re stomach gets harder in order to protect the baby from miscarriage

[@lilyplumb968]

This was 21 years ago. Let that sink in

[@SL-W]

This brings back memories! I was 7 when this aired and even though I didn’t watch Corrie, I remember randomly watching this episode and it absolutely terrified me to my core 😂 I didn’t know how babies were made at the time! I thought that a girl could randomly get pregnant at any time and that you didn’t have a choice! So poor little me was terrified that I would also get pregnant at a young age! 😂

[@SarahPlattFanx]

I was the opposite I was determined I would have a baby at that age 😂😂 didn't happen

[@ElliesWolftrave2456]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought this 😂

[@laminage]

Aww, poor baby! On emmerdale, so many girls get pregnant, but they don't really see them struggle. Gabby gets pregnant for Jamie Tate and she's pretty much on Easy Street.

[@tami8458]

I remember this. Because of this story line, teenage pregnancy was discussed at the House of Commons.

[@dawngilmour6961]

My mum would have loved and supported me where as Dad would have killed me! But mam would have had a chat with dad and pull him round and in the end I'd have the love and support needed. We were a close knit family, strong bond regardless and I miss them terribly xx

[@libziii]

Her mum looks exactly the same wtf

[@philipdalton1000s]

If you travel back in time 100 years most 13-year-olds at that time would have had virtually no knowledge of sexual intercourse. There was no sex education in schools, etc. I read some article in a newspaper supplement where older people gave accounts of their lives and one of them said she never even knew the difference between boys' and girls' genitalia until she bathed a baby boy at 16. I suppose it could be argued by some that telling children about the facts of life does not actually protect them against unwanted pregnancies as it may make them more likely to engage in underage sex. But, then again, you could argue that in the nineteenth century the age of consent was only 13 anyway. Bit of a difficult subject really.

[@Dante-vf4sd]

Life expectancy much shorter back then, 13 was probably like 20 now.

[@cheekydevil69ER]

@Papa Lazarou everything about lefties and marxism isnt it? so now im blaming tory for increase underage pregnancy still to this day. now fuck off you tory clown

[@CrankCase08]

@War Crimes It's Cultural Marxism, not Marxism. There is a difference.

[@CrankCase08]

@@cheekydevil69ER His criticism of Marxism does not necessarily mean he's a Tory. Anyway, Marxism has now been replaced by Cultural Marxism, and even the Tories are promoting that now.

[@Sirona-vr8wt]

1:51.if she wasn't anorexic then she probably will be after that comment also kind of sucks that people think you have to be underweight to be anorexic and you don't like literally even if you're not eating for a different reason than your weight it's still considered anorexic... if I was the doctor I wouldn't unless they could handle it and werent a child

[@SarahPlattFanx]

why 2018 I think she meant in terms of her dieting but she was checking her weight so i can see how that could come across

[@hollyapparently8528]

I'm 13 and if my found out I was pregnant then my mom would kill me☹️

[@PiratesAndCowboys]

Sarah was 14 when this happened. We stay ignorant even though 14 year olds now dress and act 19. Sex will become the norm at 14 and they need to be educated

[@dylanthomson5584]

She was 12 and had Bethany at 13

[@randomuser-eg8dz]

Roisin Dubh has she was 13

[@shanehughes3511]

Teenage pregnancy in most countries in Western Europe and most US states is dramatically lower than it was in the 90s if you do research, young people of today are far more educated and mature than back then

[@amyyyamy1437]

Roisin Dubh and what would be the problem if sex at 14 was normal, given they have proper education about contraception?

[@nathanforbes7789]

Soaps if you think about it are so unrealistic. By their standards everyone in the same Street/Square/Village whatever your pref, would have slept with each other all had affairs with the others wives/husband's neighbour's, all be related in some weird sicko incestuous way, all have committed murder, all have gone to prison for the heinous of crimes, and be out within a few measly months just in time for somebody's big wedding or 70th bash. Been involved in some money laundering scheme or bank heist, drink every day in the same pub, even morning afternoon and night. Eat in the same caf, morning noon and night, work not 5 minutes from their house, not travel further than the end of their road when they split up with someone and fall into bed with the next person, work at the same profession all their life. Drive a different car every other week, all have huge Christams bashes where you invite your worst sworn enemy's only to be shocked and surprised when it all kicks off in your face, have Christmas in a pub, never go away on holiday abroad only ever in UK..always say their skint but walk into a pub order a pint or drink then leave it on the bar and leave. Always be seen out and never seem to be with their kids even when they have like 5! And the worst one of the bloody lot! Somehow they fit 10 people in one poxy house with a dog , cat rabbit a stuffed parrot and the bloody goldfish 😆. Yeah right!!!

[@eighteeneighty9449]

Yeah they always saw they are skink then spend all their money in the pub

[@CrankCase08]

In other words, they only ever date and procreate with their local neighbours. It's a sure-fire recipe for long-term in-breeding.

I read a Book and a Girl was about 14 and she got pregnant and her Mother screamed "Who do you think is going to raise this child Me!" It's shocking to see how teen pregnancies have skyrocketed since the 1970's. I remember there was a 19 year old girl who got pregnant to a man who was about to be married, she felt since he was wealthy she'd and the baby would be taken care of. It was bobby brown who was so bad off financially he ended up homeless sleeping out of his car and went to jail for drugs and being a deadbeat dad.
