The show 16 and Pregnant is a reality series aired on MTV that shares the real-life stories of pregnant teens. It showcases their emotions in dealing with their pregnancies, relationships with loved-ones, education, jobs and other issues that arise throughout their evolution into early adulthood. Just like every teen mother, these select girls are forced to sacrifice their high school experiences and teenage years to care for their newborn child.
This week on 16 and Pregnant is 16-year-old Emily from Hayden, Alabama.
Since her mother was extremely angry about Emily's pregnancy, she moves in with her Father, who is also very disappointed. After excessive absences in high school, Emily's father withdraws her from high school and she begins home school.
Further into the episode Emily starts to have contractions and is brought to the hospital. After being in labor for 9 hours, Baby Liam, 8 lbs 7 ounces, is born on February 17, 2010.
Soon after Liam's birth, Emily is starting to realize that a baby is a lot of work and sacrifices have to be made in order to give her child the best life possible. Frustrated by the absence of father, Daniel, Emily doubts the couples plan for marriage in June 2010.
The show that is produced by Morgan J. Freeman airs on Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. Along with the 16 and Pregnant series, MTV launched a spin-off series called Teen Mom that follows the lives of the girls who were originally in 16 and Pregnant more in-depth in their first few years of motherhood.
