  10. Theatre.The Trail To Oregon: Audiences named the Daughter "Mistake" or "Mishap" multiple times, possibly because the audience member in question had seen the show and knew about the Teen Pregnancy backstory. (Perhaps riffing on this further, one audience named the Son "Adopted" in order to add backstory.)
  11. Recap.Family Guy S 2 E 5 Love Thy Trophy: People at Flappy's pancake house automatically believe Meg to be this as she has Stewie with her during the interview. Meg goes along with it to milk off the extra profits.

  15. Characters.The Stalker: Law of Inverse Fertility: She reveals that after sleeping with Adam in the first film, she got pregnant…which was pretty terrible timing considering everything. Then, just when she decided to clean up her act and be a good mother, she was knocked down by a mugger one night, causing her to miscarry – in hindsight, she believes either David of Emma was the ‘mugger’, due to only them knowing about her pregnancy.
  16. Fanfic.Outsiders The Owl House: Viney is said to be the result of one. Her mother was apparently younger than Viney currently is when she had her. Since Viney, Jerbo, and the twins are all sixteen…
  17. YMMV.World War Z: The soccer mom makes reference to her daughter being a fan of Jamie Lynn Spears, wearing soccer cleats with her brand on them - establishing how wholesome and normal the family was prior to the war.

  20. ComicBook.Chick Tracts: The main plot of "Baby Talk" involves a high school age couple.

  21. Characters.Neon Genesis Evangelion GEHIRN Staff: Mum Looks Like a Sister: In the year 2008, 7 years before the series◊, Naoko barely looked any older than her then-23 years old daughter Ritsuko. This implies that either Naoko had Ritsuko at a young age, or she was just Older Than She Looks.

  27. Film.A Taste Of Honey: After a final night with Jimmie, Jo ends up pregnant. Given that teenagers in the 1950s typically finished school at 15, she may actually be 15 and not 17 as she claimed.
  28. Fanfic.Island Of Fire: Cho Chang becomes Atlantis' first mother, when she's around fifteen-sixteen years old. She's rather anxious about it, being stranded far away from civilization, her family, and frankly any proper experts on childbirth.

  30. Characters.Destine Enormity: His mother was only 14 when he was born, which was why she chose to put him up for adoption.
  31. Webcomic.Its Not Your Fault: Darker and Edgier: This comic does not hold back with how depressingly dark it is. When comparing it to the show it is based on, the difference is very plain, with the comic dealing with stuff such as abandonment, trauma, mental problems, relationship problems, Self-Harm and eventually a rape leading to a Teen Pregnancy. Ironically, among Javi's works, the comic is his most SFW in terms of content.
  32. Recap.Inspector Lynley S 01 E 04 Missing Joseph: Maggie's birth mother was in her teens when she had her, which is why Juliet thought she could take her and no one would care, justifying it to herself that she was giving Maggie a better life.
  33. TabletopGame.Cards Against Humanity: "Teenage pregnancy."
  34. Awesome.Toradora: Then there's the fact that she works a late night job for her kid and still manages to be a positive influence on him. ..especially considering she's a single mother who also had a Teen Pregnancy and has been doing this all without her family to support her.

  36. Characters.Earths Children Zelandonii: She's said to be only around thirteen years old and is already expecting her first child. Although she's regarded as quite young to be having a baby, she's unconcerned and considered herself blessed (though it is mentioned part of this could be due to pregnancy hormones).
  37. Creator.Stiltonbasket: A-Yuan is the result of a mystical one in “you can have the best of me, baby”.
  38. Series.Hang Time: Season three's "Teen Mom" and season four's "My Family" involve characters who became mothers before graduating high school. In the former, Danny falls for a girl named Sarah, who keeps ditching him and backing out on dates, only to find out that she has a son; Danny even briefly considers marrying Sarah. In the latter, Coach Katowinski's 17-year-old daughter tells Mary Beth, Julie and Kristy that she had given birth to a child recently and hadn't told her dad about it, she eventually comes clean to him. In both cases, the main characters end up with the unwitting task of being the babysitters, with blunderous results.
  39. Literature.Gone: Diana becomes pregnant with Caine's baby.
  40. PromotionToParent.Fan Works: Later, they're introduced to their half-sister, Claire, who winds up becoming more of a mother figure to April than Elly ever was.

  43. Recap.Criminal Case Grimsborough Case 48 Good Girls Dont Die: Blackmail: Serena had been blackmailing Martha about her daughter's Teen Pregnancy since it would destroy her conservative political campaign.
  44. AlternativeCharacterInterpretation.Knives Out: Is she meant to be older than 100, or was Harlan born out of Teen Pregnancy, or even younger? The latter might explain why there's never any mention of Harlan's father (although to be fair in the former scenario, he could easily be long dead of old age). It's also worth noting that even if it was a teen pregnancy, Great-Nana would still be a century old (if she had Harlan at 15) or older.
  45. Funny.Ghost Stories: As Leo tells about the piano ghost to Satsuki, out of the blue he also mentions that there's another story about a pregnant cheerleader circling the school, but nobody reacts to it. He continues with the explanation and again out of nowhere adds that the cheerleader is pregnant with twins. The next day he has an "Eureka!" Moment when he realises that Satsuki can just use earplugs to protect herself from the piano ghost, and blames his preoccupation with the cheerleader story for not thinking of it sooner.
  46. Film.Waves: Appears in the plot as Tyler's girlfriend Alexis turns out to be pregnant, alluded to by her missing her period. He takes her to get an abortion, but she ends up choosing to keep the baby, which soon has horrific ramifications for her.

  50. WhatCouldHaveBeen.Katawa Shoujo: The final image of Hanako's good ending where the camera pans to inside a bakery window with two muffins sitting inside was originally meant to represent that Hanako has a bun in the oven, or in other words, is pregnant. This was scrapped in later drafts because the team didn't want to make light of Teen Pregnancy, though (in fact, Hanako's H-scene is the only one in the whole game in which Hisao uses a condom),
  51. Recap.Beverly Hills 90210 S 01 E 12 One Man And A Baby: In this case it already happened and the story starts when Melissa is already a mom.
  52. TearJerker.The Venture Bros: The scene in Everybody Comes To Hank's where the identity of Dermott's actual father (and mother, for that matter) is revealed. The situation is played heart-breakingly realistic and is only exacerbated by the music that accompanies it.What's worse is the fact that Rusty seems genuinely distraught at the fact that Nikki lied to him about how old she was and despite that and the fact that she basically took advantage of his insecurities to trick him into bed, he still wanted to leave a key to the compound to her in order to let her and her son be in his life. Little did he know that Dermott would end up being part of his life and all things considered, he might never know.
  53. Characters.Broadchurch: Absurdly Youthful Mother: Beth is incredibly young to have a fifteen- and eleven-year-old. Justified, since she had her first child when she was fifteen.
  54. Characters.The Borgias: Noblewomen were wed off at a young age in the time period, though she conceived the child with a commoner she fell in love with instead of her (much older) husband.
  55. Characters.Ophelia: She states she was only nineteen years old when she discovered she was pregnant. This wasn't unusual for the time period; rather, it was the fact she was pregnant and unmarried that caused her problems.
  56. Manga.Wild Adapter: Parental Neglect: Endemic. Kubota was ignored; Komiya is responsible for his mother; Saori's family washes their hands of her; Shouta is a latchkey kid; Yoshirou was abused and disowned. Kubota: They're around. But that's all they are.
  57. Literature.Secrets: Loretta, one of Nan's children, is fifteen and has a daughter, Brittany. Treasure mentions that her mother was older than Loretta when she had Treasure but implies that Tammy was also very young at the time.
  58. Webcomic.Killstagram: Sarang was fifteen when she gave birth to Jia, which forced her to drop out of school.

  61. Fanfic.The Desert Storm: My Secret Pregnancy: At the start of Ripples, Ben and Obi-Wan discover that Shmi is pregnant and is trying to keep it a secret until she’s Knighted. It quite quickly becomes an Open Secret, however, and a source of fascination for the younglings (particularly non-mammalian ones), as well as a cause for a lot of very attentive Padawans, Knights, even Masters. Satine is revealed to be pregnant and doing her absolute best to hide it in Mirage, in part because she's 18 and under a lot of pressure, in part because the father is Obi-Wan.
  62. Characters.The Sea Beyond: Edoardo gets her pregnant.
  63. Recap.The Flash 2014 S 8 E 10 Reckless: Parents as People: Renee wanted to keep Tinya, but was pressured by her own parents to give up her daughter due to it being a Teen Pregnancy. She regretted this decision throughout her whole life.

  67. Characters.Bridgerton: She met and fell in love with Sir George Crane, resulting in an affair while they were unmarried. She admits that, some time after he left for war, her menstrual courses stopped, which she quickly went into denial about. She starts the series pregnant with his child.
  68. Fanfic.Growing Up Haddock: Adrianna, though the time period makes this a lot less scandalous.

  72. Characters.DCEU Philadelphia: Lower-Class Lout: She is found living in a troubled neighborhood full of them and her new abusive partner is one too. She herself could qualify following her Teen Pregnancy, then ditching Billy to help herself, making her current stay well-deserved.
  73. YMMV.The Loud House: Another popular theory is that Lily is actually Lori or Leni's daughter.
  74. Literature.Salvage The Bones: Empathic Environment: Hurricane Katrina builds throughout the story as Esch silently struggles with her Teen Pregnancy and steadily-crumbling (if not already nonexistent) relationship with Manny. Right before it hits, Manny leaves her for good, and Esch finally breaks.
  75. Characters.Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run: Not out of having sex, but rather by somehow becoming pregnant with the head of the Holy Corpse. ...At age 14.

  78. Series.Degrassi Junior High: Darker and Edgier: Typical The Kids of Degrassi Street plot - Kid goes downtown to buy clothes on his own for the first time. First major DJH plot - Teen Pregnancy.
  79. VisualNovel.Daughter For Dessert: Possible, but not certain, in the “good” Amanda ending. It’s a downplayed trope if it is used, as Amanda is a part-owner (at least de facto) of the diner.
  80. Blog.Ask A Pony: Scootaloo, who was thirteen when it happened.
  81. Fanfic.A Small Possibility: Kim becomes pregnant at age seventeen in her senior year of high school.
  82. Characters.The Giver Quartet: Defiled Forever: Few people in her new home want anything to do with her after her Teen Pregnancy is discovered, largely because they can't wrap their heads around the idea that it didn't happen the "usual" way, leading them to assume other things about her character.
  83. Characters.Freaks And Geeks: Gossipy Hens: As one of the school's "good girls", she finds Kim utterly abhorrent, especially because, as she (untruthfully) relays to the other mathletes, she's pregnant.

  86. Literature.Skippy Dies: A minor subplot is Titch accidentally getting Kelly Ann pregnant.

She hasn't, obviously, but it's what makes her panic, starve herself with diet pills to try and end the pregnancy, and ends up anorexic.
  87. Film.Women Is Losers: Celina and Marty both get pregnant while they're 17.
  88. Series.Mom: One of the overarching plots of the first season is Violet's unexpected pregnancy and how she has to come to grips with the impact it has on her goals. To an equal extent, this is what changed her mother's and grandmother's lives forever.
  89. WebAnimation.Story Booth: Covered a few times in stories like this or this.
  90. Trivia.Barbie: In the early 2000s, there was an infamous "Pregnant Barbie" doll that was discontinued due to controversy that it supported Teen Pregnancy. The doll in question was Midge, Barbie's old friend who was brought back after several years.

After the death of one of Greene's former clients, LAPD Det. Sgts. Rick Hunter and Dee Dee McCall discover several pages worth of photographs at the crime scene, all portraying Greene's past victims.

  95. Characters.Hare Guu: She became pregnant when she was 14.
  96. YMMV.Pocket Monsters The Animation: What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Has some pretty adult themes for a kid's book, namely children being legal adults at age ten, Teen Pregnancy and adultery, Pikachu dying if using all of its electricity, to name a few examples. Of course, this is Takeshi Shudō we're talking about, who wanted the anime to be just as much for adults as for kids.
