The parents were very disappointed in their teen daughter, as Kim’s baby daddy Michael was a problem child in rehab. Kim was always a brilliant student, and her parents felt that early pregnancy would hinder her plans of studying nursing and following her dreams. However, Kim proved them wrong and continued her education.
After pursuing her nursing degree from St. Johns River State College, Kim became a registered nurse. She is employed at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital as Labor and Delivery Nurse.

Nicole and Mariah Are Leading a Quiet Life Now
A resident of Fresno, California, 34-year-old Nicole was expecting her sixth child overall and the second one with her boyfriend, AJ, with whom she shared an on-and-off relationship. The daughter of a teen mom and one herself, she hoped her daughter, Mariah, would not follow the same pattern and build a successful future. However, the 16-year-old became pregnant with her boyfriend, Josh, and was adamant about keeping the baby. This significantly strained Nicole and Mariah’s relationship, with the latter being upset with her mother’s boyfriend’s inconsistent presence.
Not just that, the teenager resented her mother for having too many children, and thus, she moved into her grandmother’s home earlier. When she got pregnant, Nicole believed that her daughter had done so deliberately to spite her, and matters worsened when Mariah’s boyfriend moved in with her. On the other hand, the 34-year-old mother’s troubles escalated when her suspicions of AJ cheating on her proved true. After he moved out, Nicole decided to be a single parent. Unfortunately, her and Mariah’s relationship had been badly affected over the past six months, and the latter initially refused to help with her mother’s C-section.
Though the fate of their bond was uncertain on the show, Mariah and Nicole have embraced privacy to avoid any unnecessary attention since filming ended. Their decision to keep their personal lives away from the public eye is understandable, given the scrutiny that reality TV stars often face.

Being a teen mom herself, Ann ensured that Liz got the acceptance and support she needed and was optimistic that she and Chris would make great parents.

Nevertheless, the teenager was confident she could finish school and raise her baby and was keen to prove her mother wrong. Despite both women having a joint baby shower, they continued having friction between them. Kristen and Melissa would avoid talking about their pregnancies with each other and struggled to maintain their relationship.
