Tonight you get a double-header from me. I'm recapping 2 episodes of "16 and Pregnant": last week's rerun that I only half-paid-attention to, and then tonight's new episode.
First, we have last week's episode. Last week's episode featured Valerie, a 15-year-old homeschooled high school sophomore who lives in a suburb of Oxford, PA. She and her boyfriend Matt learn she is pregnant. Matt breaks up with her and says he doesn't want her to contact him unless it is about the baby.
Valerie gets a lot of support from her friends and her parents. She wants to return to regular school because she thinks homeschool is boring. After a false alarm, Matt moves to Wilmington, DE to get a better job. She wants to return to regular school, but her parents are against her going back do to having her skipped a lot of school in the past.
After not hearing from Matt for several days, and her due date passing, Valerie goes into labor, and Matt comes to support her through her labor. When her water breaks, it is discovered the baby may have some complications. She gives birth to a baby girl that she names Nevaeh, who appeared to have meconium aspiration syndrome after birth. She is transferred to another hospital and some tests are performed, and it turns out that she is okay. Matt returns to Delaware but promises to visit.
Valerie wants to return to regular school, but the costs of daycare for Nevaeh are too much for her to afford, so she returns to homeschool. Matt comes to visit for a weekend and he and Valerie discuss their relationship when he takes care of Nevaeh. Valerie knows it will be hard on her, but has said it's getting easier because Matt is a good father.
I really liked Valerie and thought she was a good mother to Nevaeh. Matt started off being immature, but he got better.
My next entry will be about the upcoming episode, featuring a girl named Chelsea.
Love y'all,
