History Main / TeenPregnancy

* Based on the fact Helen of Sparta was twelve when Theseus abducted her near the end of his reign, traditionally said to have ended in 1205 BC, Helen's date of birth is at least in 1217 BC. Her daughter Hermione was said to be nine when she was abducted by Paris and the traditional date for the Trojan War is 1194-1184 BC. If Hermione was born in 1203 BC, then that means Helen was fourteen years old when she gave birth.

* Raquel from ''ComicBook/{{Icon}}'' found out she was pregnant right around the time her superhero career began. Unlike Steph, she decided to keep her son, whom she named Amistad.

* In ''[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Robin]]'', Stephanie Brown (then the Spoiler and later [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 the third Batgirl]]) realized she was pregnant during the Franchise/{{Batman}} ''Cataclysm'' storyline, and was temporarily PutOnABus until she gave birth. She decided to [[GiveHimANormalLife give the baby up for adoption]] and even refused to learn the gender so she wouldn't get attached. Batman later revealed to her that she'd had a daughter during ''ComicBook/BatmanWarGames''.

* ''ComicBook/TroubleMarvelComics'' infamously tried to do this, [[spoiler:focusing on the relationships of Franchise/SpiderMan's parents, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May as teens and retconning that Peter himself was the product of an affair his father Richard and May had.]] Needless to say, it was hated and [[spoiler:declared to not be in canon with the Franchise/MarvelUniverse]].

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "The Doctor Dances", we discover that [[spoiler:Nancy]] is Jamie's mother [[spoiler:[[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo rather than his sister as she claimed]]]], and would have given birth to him between the ages of 14-16.

* One episode of ''Series/ColdCase'' centered around a teenage pregnancy, with the victim being the child's father (also a teenager) who was murdered just hours after his baby was born. It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:he was killed by the baby's would-be adoptive father after telling him that he had decided not go through with the adoption.]]

* Referenced in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode [[EggSitting "The Eggbaby"]] -- Terry can't find anyone to watch the electronic "baby" he's been assigned for his Family Studies class, so he brings it on patrol with him. When Bruce hears it cry over the comm link:

TruthInTelevision, to the existence of no small number of children. Closely related to PromotionToParent, which is often the expected outcome.

* There are two examples in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3''. The first is a subtextual example with Monica Vandham, who is 33 when met in game with her daughter Ghondor being 18 years old, meaning Monica was only 15 when Ghondor was born. This isn't brought up in game and it's implied that she married and had a hapy relationship with Ghondor's father before he died. The second example is [[spoiler:M, a previous incarnation of Mio that became Moebius, and in one of her reincarnations she had a child with a previous incarnation of Noah, who became the Moebius N. {{Justified}} however as those trapped with Aonios' cycle of life are born at age 10 and can only live for 10 years before dying. With their son being around 3 years old when her time was up, this means that M became pregnant when she was about 16 or 17 years old.]]

* ''Series/GinnyAndGeorgia'': Georgia gave birth to Ginny at 15.

* [[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP]]-[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3935 3935]] revolves around one of these gone horribly wrong. [[spoiler: A high school cheerleader living in [[EverytownAmerica a small town in Indiana]] with a CloseKnitCommunity winds up pregnant, creating a huge scandal that leads to her getting ostracized, especially by the rest of her cheer team. She's then lured into an EldritchLocation under the school by [[EldritchAbomination something]] that convinces her to join it and [[OffingTheOffspring drown her baby in the swimming pool]]. Her fellow cheerleaders are DrivenToSuicide, and the eleven of them [[StringyHairedGhostGirl terrorize the town as ghosts]].]] As all this is happening, [[StepfordSmiler the inhabitants pretend the paranormal occurrences around them are nothing to be concerned about]] and the agents exploring the sub-basement are being silently watched and judged by numerous disembodied faces, drawing parallels to how people in these types of communities treat wrongdoers.

* ''Film/WildRose'': Rose-Lynn mentions she had both her kids prior to age eighteen.

* In ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', Juliet's mother says she was already a mother at Juliet's current age (nearly 14) in justification of Juliet's ArrangedMarriage with Paris. [[ValuesDissonance Which was normal... back then]], as girls from rich families got married around that age to cement alliances, and also so they'd have as many kids as possible and not be a burden for their parents. Poorer women would marry later (around 23 or older), as they and their possible suitors would take far more time to [[UnableToSupportAWife gather enough money for a decent-sized dowry and household]], and legally male and female apprentices could not marry until they completed their indenture.

** Kat Slater/Moon is discovered to have given birth to Zoe at age 13 after being raped by her uncle.

* Carla's friend from {{Series/Scrubs}}. Elliot accidentally offended her by assuming that her son was a boyfriend, when in actuality she had him at age 14.
