What does childbirth feel like?
-
Well if you get an epidural it feels like you're pooping
-
but in a really weird position
-
'cause they make you put your legs up and hold them.
-
(springy music)
-
Hi my name's Maddie, nice to meet you.
-
Hi I'm Davina.
-
Do you know why you're here?
-
Yeah because you're a teen mom.
-
Okay, how old do you think I am? Do you know yet?
-
17
-
I'm 15.
-
Yeah.
-
I had my baby when I was 14
-
and I had just turned 14 when I got pregnant.
-
How old are you?
-
I'm 12.
-
I remember when I was 12.
-
Boys would always like send pictures and stuff.
-
I'm like what was that weird looking worm?
-
(laughs)
-
They don't do that anymore here?
-
Oh well I got one Snapchat about it and was just like
-
just gonna delete.
-
It's really bad.
-
So I kind of got exposed to that early.
-
Then when I got a boyfriend, he wanted to have sex.
-
I didn't really want to but.
-
Tell him to do it himself.
-
(Both laughing)
-
I kinda thought, I love him. This is what he wants.
-
So if want to keep him, this is what I have to do.
-
Which, is not the case. So never..
-
Yeah.
-
Think that, but we ended up having sex and I got pregnant.
-
Did you guys use protection?
-
No.
-
Well!
-
Yeah, but in Texas they don't really teach you
-
about that in school.
-
What would you think if you got pregnant?
-
Oh I feel like I'd get killed.
-
(Maddie Gasps)
-
My parents would be like.
-
No. Yeah.That's what I thought too.
-
Luckily my parents were supportive,
-
but with some people, like, it's not the case for them.
-
And it's really sad.
-
How did you know if you were pregnant?
-
I lost a lot of weight 'cause of morning sickness.
-
Didn't your mom take you to the doctor?
-
Yeah. She thought I was sick.
-
So when I went to the doctor, one of the nurses,
-
she was a teen mom, so she just had this gut feeling.
-
Like I did not say anything. Well she did a pregnancy test,
-
and it turns out I was, I think, 12/14 weeks pregnant.
-
Whoa.
-
So I found out pretty far along.
-
Oh wow.
-
So yeah. Me and her dad had already broken up.
-
I ended up telling him. How do you think he reacted?
-
I don't think he'd want to keep the baby.
-
Yeah. His initial thought was abortion.
-
At three months pregnant, abortion wasn't really
-
something that I thought I should go through with.
-
So, I ended up keeping her. Obviously.
-
But she is the little light of my life.
-
Obviously, you should not be having sex at 14.
-
Well yeah.
-
Yeah, but I mean stuff happens.
-
I can't go back and change it, you know.
-
And even if I could, I wouldn't because I love my daughter.
-
But it's obviously not something I recommend.
-
I don't recommend it at all.
-
Did people feel bad for you being pregnant at 14?
-
Like yes. They also kinda feel like
-
I'm a bad person because of it.
-
I don't think you're a bad person.
-
- Thank you. - Just made a
-
- Bad choice. - Yeah.
-
I agree with that. I took the consequences of my actions
-
and I made it into a beautiful thing.
-
Do you still keep in contact with her dad?
-
Um, I do now but that just happened.
-
He recently started seeing her
-
and I mean he's been really nice.
-
I really didn't expect that kindness from him,
-
but I'm really happy that she gets to have a father
-
in her life because even though I'm a young mom,
-
I wanna try to make her life as normal as possible,
-
and as good as possible. Do you wanna meet her?
-
Yeah
-
She's so cute. This is Everly. Everly, this is Davina.
-
Ah she's so cute. I love babies.
-
Do you want to try to hold her?
-
I'm scared. I think she is gonna yell.
-
You can shake hands. Everly shake hands.
-
Oh wrong hand. Okay. Okay. Oh she's so warm.
-
(giggling)
-
What's your favorite part about
-
Just the bond.
-
My mom would always talk about it.
-
I was just kinda like oh yeah so its basically a bond
-
you would have with a sibling, but it's
-
so much more than that. It's just like.
-
I don't have a good bond with my sibling.
-
(everyone laughs)
-
She's just like "go away". I'm like, "I'm in the hallway".
-
(laughs)
-
High five. Oh nope. Not with that hand.
-
(laughs)
-
Bye it was so nice to meet you.
-
Bye.
-
Everly you want to shake hands too?
-
Oh it's the slobber hand.
-
Oh that's okay. It's a cute slobber hand.
-
Okay bye.
-
(Clapping)
-
Okay. She's happy. I'm gone.
