Schwangerschaft geplant: Teen-Mom Maggie kämpft gegen Klischees I reporter

🤰 Pregnant at 18 – for Maggie, this wasn't a nightmare, but her dream! Her desire for children was so strong even as a teenager that she eventually consciously stopped using contraception. Even though she was often embarrassed by her pregnancy in public, she's now living her dream life as a 20-year-old mother to one-and-a-half-year-old Lia. And she's not alone: ​​Hashtags like #teenmum and #youngmum are going viral on Instagram and other social media platforms. In this report, I explore: Why do Maggie and others celebrate being a very young mother so much? And what's behind this Instagram bubble where thousands of young mothers proudly showcase their lives as moms? The funk format "reporter" ended on December 31, 2023.

After all, in documentaries and TV shows, we usually see overwhelmed teen moms whose pregnancies resulted from an "accident." 👩‍🍼 But in the Mummy Community, everyday life as a young mother is celebrated: baby food, pink nurseries, and pregnant bellies – so not my reality in my early to mid-twenties! That's why it was so exciting for me to meet Maggie, for whom this is exactly her dream life. I want to understand what it is about motherhood that fascinates Maggie so much. Maggie is only 20, by the way, and she and her husband are financially independent from their parents, she says. 🤔 Although Maggie consciously decided to have a baby, she constantly has to justify herself. "She has no idea" or "You're naive" are among the standard accusations. Does the Instagram bubble help her cope with such criticism? 👉If you want to check out Maggie's social media accounts, click here: Instagram:   / maggieee_yt   YouTube:    / @maggieee_yt   🎞Team: Saadet Czapski, Marco Raab, Sabine Filser, Julia Hombach, Andreas Josef, Benjamin Imort 👉You can also find us here: Twitter:   / reporter   Facebook:   / reporter.offiziell   Instagram:   / reporter.offiziell   Snapchat:   / 3246991136   #reporter is part of #funk: YouTube:    / funkofficial   funk Web App: http://go.funk.net Facebook:   / funk   ☝️ Opinion and subjectivity are often everything.
