Sorry if this offends someone but just watching underage and pregnant.

The mother to be is 15 and just brought a £1000 pram omfg what a waste of money lol.

The things she could have done with that money, i think its very silly to be honest. Could have at least but £500 away for baby as savings.

I suppose it depends on her cirumstances doesnt it.



If she's from a wealthy family who are willing to support her then fair doos. But if she isnt then she's going to need every penny she can and I suppose £1000 for a pram is far too much.

How did she afford it??? If her parents paid then they are morons! My FIL & SMIL took us to buy our pram and it was the 1st time id met them properly. Was a bit awkward & I ended up picking a pram at about £150-£200 because I didnt want them spending too much. I wasnt really a 'pram person' anyway.

I think a teenager paying £1000 for a pram is sort of buying into the whole baby as a fashion accessory thing too. Something to show off and dress up.

A girl on my FB has posted pics of a pram that she got as a replacement from mothercare while her original 'designer' one gets repaired. You can tell she is raging at how plain it is. I dont really see why she is pissed off. Its the baby thats the important thing.

No it does not look like it that's why i posted. I think its a waste of money even if your wealthy lol

I don't get why people feel the need to spend stupid amounts of money on a pram - 1000 is excessive no matter how much money you've got. What a complete waste of money! xx

haha snoops, must admit I'm bit of pram person myself.



I've had 3 good prams for all of mine, my mum and dad paid for the first one lol



How come you only met them when they were buying your pram??



Mil bought Ellies cot and I chose a cheap one as I felt cheeky, but oh's neice is preggers and was looking a cheap prams and then her bfs parents said they'd pay so she's now torn between a Buggaboo and Icandy She has no shame lol.

Was it the girl with the icandy? I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday lol x

I spent £1000 on Ellie's pram and totally love it and I don't regret it. But I can totally see your point and i know its my weakness (weakness's also include handbags and shoes) xx

HAHAHAH yeah

FIL and MIL are spilt about 15 years. Would have saw MIL alot (as Stuart lived with her) but wouldnt have been over at Stuarts when his dad was visiting (SMIL def wouldnt have been visiting at MILs lol) or gone on days out with them (His dad lives about 10-15 mile away). I still lived at mums when I was pg so would have been weird him popping over to say hi I guess. I got pg after 14 months together so maybe we would have met eventually... actually I think I met his dad once or twice in town before the pram day out.

I was about 24 wks when went pram shopping as a little 'get to know eachother' day out. Fun! We sound about 14 but honestly we were 24 and 26 when we got pg!

how much for a pram, oh crumbs thats a lot of money, my first car didnt cost that much lol.

but if she can why not, just looked at the icandy and have to say if we won the lottery i would lol, but i couldnt not because of the money but because russ is allergic to the foam in the handles. men lol

i missed this...

but bloody hell wtf!?

Thats ridiculous! I would NEVER pay that much for a pram, even if i did win the lottery.

Blimey I love the icandy pushchairs but would never buy new, so expensive. There is just so much else you can buy with that money.
I think sadly (and this may be judgemental/stereotyping sorry!) but a lot teenage mums get into this baby as a fashion accessory mentality, with designer dummy and designer clothes. Babies don't need that.

I saw this episode last night - I think x
I was feeling for that Lola baby whose Mummy couldn't be bothered

It did say in the program that she saved up for the pram which is good x

Its hard, because I would have much better things to spend £1000 on, but then again, I can spend money on other things that other people woudl think 'wtf is she spending money on that for', lol.



In 6 months when she is buying a stroller and not using the pram she will probably realise that it wasnt worth the money x

How on earth can a 15 yr old save £1000??? How many hrs a week does she work? I suppose its better than being 15 and spending £1000 in a year on booze and fags but its still shocking.

I agree with laura, in 6 months time she'l prob have a £80 stroller from babies r us.

Im guessing this is on Iplayer, il have to have a nosey later.
Maybe il change my opinion of her...

I don't think it is a waste of money. I have an icandy, I bought the whole travel system and all of the accessories, including the jogging wheel (just in case I ever have the urge to jog)lol.



For me its been a fantastic pran/pushchair and I have never had the need to use any other stoller. I did buy a stroller for my mil as she stuggled with the weight of the icandy getting in and out of the car. I have used the stroller once or twice and think its a nightmare.



The icandy is so lovely to push you can honestly do anything to it with one hand, also it looks so comfy. I would recommend it to anyone.



I still use it all the time. I've taken it abroad twice.



But I am lucky that I don't have to depend on public transport as I have car and also live close to town. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd have had to lugg it on to buses and trains. (Actually did take it on a train once and it was a night mare but thats a whole different story)lol.

James is out tonight at a family bbq so I might see if its on catch up x

Your kind to James, I make Stuart watch all these types of shows with me and then discuss bad parenting/babys with him. Its educating him

Oh I hope they all find out the sex of their babies in it so I can tell Stuart to wise up and pay for my scan!!!!

I watched last night. That girl saved the money through out her whole pregnancy. I didn't hear if she was working or not though

Thats 110 a month even i cant save that and i work i can see her working as she is too you really unless its a family business, she prob used the pregnancy grants.
