Abstract
This discussion piece arose from a conversation between the two authors, Sarah, a nurse researcher exploring teenage women’s pregnancy decisions and Joelle, researcher, ‘young mother’, activist and founder of @prymface a twitter feed that advocates for young mothers and anyone who was ever a young mother. We explore the concepts of teenage pregnancy within policy and popular discourse, and consider the extent to which this now applies to young mothers in their twenties.
