I am the mother of 4 before I turned 21. No, no twins or quads.

My first was a daughter at 14 years, my second, a son at 16, my third, a daughter at 18, and my youngest, a daughter at 20. I am now 39, and from them, a grandmother of 4.

I can understand from the perspective of unplanned young mothers from my own experience and also from a parent’s perspective dealing with one of my own daughter’s pregnancy at 16.
