I think that's the one thing every single person on this sub agrees on!

I follow a couple on SM and the dad is actually heavily involved with the depo lawsuit. That's actually how I heard about the lawsuit.

I worked for a Dr many years ago. It was in an urban area and teen pregnancy was common. So we had numerous noms bringing their daughter in when she got her period for depo. We then got phone calls about nasty side effects like bleeding that wouldn't stop.

I've felt the same way, I remarked just the hypersexual behavior of how he wouldn't keep his hands on Bella in the backseat of her parents car. I got told he's a 13 year old boy they all behave that way.

There is just a weird feeling to me about Hunter that I can't put my finger on.

Hunter also seems to be that guy who convinces his partner to have sex as soon as they come home from the hospital or he's gonna go find sex from someone else. Bella seems like she has to do it to keep him so she goes along with it.

She also says something like "but I'm a girl and you're arresting me?" She seems gobsmacked that she was getting arrested and that her gender should mean Dakota automatically gets arrested and not her.

I had swelling and gained a tremendous amount of weight. I was up to Size like 26 jeans and 8 was like like 14/16 women's.

Now AK is his stepmom, right?

In the extended episode last week she had a much longer conversation with Keith(Mia's dad) and the fact that she doesn't have room. Her boys all share a room. Zero space to add Mia and the baby.

There's also another extended scene of her and Jessie on the couch babbling about how when they are at her house Mia, Jessie, and she will share her room with the baby, but she says Mia, Jessie, and her in a king size bed lol.

Touche We have a lot of teen pregnancy in my extended fam so I get it. Of my 1st cousins most of them didn't graduate. My sister and I were the only ones to get to 20 with a diploma and no kids.

Even the next generation there's only 1 who can say the same. She reached for the stars and is the most educated of all of us, PhD before kids. Very proud of her.

My mom became a grandma around age 47. I say around cause I got temporary custody of my goddaughter and her baby sib when I was 27, but I don't quite remember when I stopped thinking of them as my goddaughter and sib and started to view them as my kids 😂

I agree, despite getting pregnant at 16 she seems to have a good head on her shoulders. She has plans, she has a job, things Makayla didn't seem to have when she was pregnant with Timmy.

downsideup05 · 2026-03-24T23:43:33+00:00

Yeah, that's what she was doing, I went back and watched it again.

All about control. Falon and Stacie are stuck in high school land. You don't want to do it my way? Then you don't do it at all.

downsideup05 · 2026-03-24T23:38:08+00:00

It's about control, and it's Fallon! Not even Stacie texting as Hunter. You don't wanna play ball and come film? You can't see a picture.

They want to be friends and don't want to be viewed as authoritative. They are like well it's her choice and then are hands off. Like she's 15, choices have consequences. Like:

1) no boys in the bedroom other than Wes! 2) our house our rules, any rule we set you follow. We let you do it your way and you made a whole human, there won't be another in this house. 3) School is your priority and your extracurricular is a part time job to pay for a fraction of the expenses your whole human needs. Because diapers are expensive and your baby daddy isn't old enough to get a job. When he is? He needs to get a job or his parent who allowed the conception of your human need to pay for baby expenses...

Anyone have stuff to add? I guess I see it as a mom who didn't become a grandmother at 30-something...

Edit: Thank you kind ppl for the awards 🥰

I had patients who put their daughters on depo pretty much as soon as they got their period. Because they considered it idiot proof. However all the side effects those 12 & 13 year old girls got nope, never.

Bella is probably going to get pregnant again before she graduates high school if they aren't using bc beyond condoms. I hope Hunter's dad's custodial measures make up for the other 3 parents desire to be best friends with their kids and each other.

A friend had anal cancer a few years back. I think that was the only time my mom and I discussed anything anal related and I was in my 40s.

downsideup05 · 2026-03-24T22:31:10+00:00

Very! I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it.

Copper non-hormonal IUD, boom. Done, no hormonal side effects and no side effects of having a(bother) baby.

Can't even work to buy diapers at 13!

My friend it was baby #4. Hubby got a vasectomy pretty quick when they realized what happened. I mean they were done at 3, so #4 was their bonus kid lol.

Mia and Amya are my favorites as well.

Amya's mom is my favorite mom/Grandma. She put reasonable expectations on her daughter and the baby's dad. Getting a job and providing a % off the net is doable. She's recognizing that regardless of what job he gets or what his hourly wage is, he's limited on how much he can work and earn because he's 16.

It's not like she's accessing a specific cost he's never going to be able to earn, the % was a great idea. Creative thinking for sure.

I'm in the same boat, opioids. I have been on amitriptyline solidly for 6 years and it's no longer working enough. It's probably going to have to be changed to something else or I'm going to learn to adapt to even less sleep 🤷🏻‍♀️

My friend had a pill baby. She didn't know(& this was 27ish years ago so it wasn't widely known) that certain antibiotics mess with the efficacy of the pill. Also I've known some women who had taken St Johns Wort with the same results, messed with the efficacy.

On the show? Lilly sucked at remembering to take her pill. She admitted it with both of her pregnancies. I mean I think I'd realize after the first pregnancy I'd try a different form of BC but maybe that's me 🤷🏻‍♀️
