Kaylee was 16 when she got pregnant. Nathan was 18 at the time, and although they’d known each other for a few years, they’d only been together for a few months, and Kaylee thought that Nathan would definitely leave if she said his things, so she almost waited. two months before telling him she was pregnant. But the boy is surprisingly excited and happy to be a father.

Mom JoAnn also shares her experiences on Instagram and YoυTυƄe to help other teen moms, as she was helped by similar videos of her pregnancy. “I wanted not to push her, not to promote the pregnancy, but to show the real side,” she says.
