Many times in life, people face situations that are very daunting and some have been lucky enough to overcome them over time.
Pregnancy is no easy feat even for people in marriages, talk less of teenagers who are still naïve and have no solid plans for their future.
Despite that, there have been several cases of teenage pregnancies and some of them recount what it was like after several years have passed.

Just recently, talented Nigerian singer, Waje, took a trip down memory lane during an interview with gospel rapper and singer, Bouqui.
Waje recounted how she got pregnant as a teenager, when she opened up to her mother and how her church banned her from singing in the choir as a result.
The So Inspired crooner said that she got into a relationship in SS3 and that it gradually went from puppy love to being sexual.
She said: “I got into a relationship in SS3. It then went from puppy love to sexual. At the time I felt I loved the person and sex was the only way I could express it.”
She also spoke on how she eventually told her mother about her pregnancy. According to her, she opened up to her mum about her condition after she was five months in. She said that she even wrote her WAEC while pregnant and nobody knew.
Waje said it was after one morning devotion that she told her mum she was pregnant and was not willing to abort it.
The singer then spoke further on how she was stopped from singing in the choir as a result of her condition.
She said that one afternoon, someone came to her house to call her that her pastor wanted to see her.
Waje recounted how it went down. She said:
“When I got to Papa’s office, he was in the conference room and he looked at me and said: ‘if you lie, you will die because you are standing in front of God, you’re standing in front of the Holy Spirit and you’re standing in front of me. Are you pregnant? I said yes. He was so disappointed.”
The singer then continued that the pastor told her that he wanted to see her in church on every Sunday and Wednesday service. He also mandated her to never miss a prayer meeting but added that she could no longer sing in the choir.
Interesting.
In other Waje related news, Legit.ng earlier reported that the singer recounted how she returned the N25 million a man once invested in her music.
According to Waje, the man had invested the sum of N25m to her craft and she and her team were pleased and ready to go to work. The singer revealed that they even tried to make things as transparent as possible by planning to map out ways the money would be spent on the music.
However, the singer was in for a surprise after she noticed that the control of her work was being dragged with her.
