I fell pregnant at 15 & I’m about to have my sixth kid by the sixth dad – yes it’s ‘ghetto’ but I never gave up on love
A WOMAN has revealed that she fell pregnant with her first child at the age of 15.
Tanetta, now 43, shared that she then went on to have four more children, all of whom have different fathers.
Now, Tanetta is pregnant again, for the sixth time, also with a different man.
Despite this, Tanetta, who recently became a grandmother, explained that she didn’t give up on love.
She shared that she is now married, and is not the woman she used to be prior to tying the knot.
Posting on social media, the pregnant woman opened up on her pregnancies throughout the years, leaving many open-mouthed.
She explained that it was “super ghetto” that she got pregnant during her teenage years, but thought it was “insane ghetto” that by the age of 27, she had five children, all with different dads.
In the short clip shared online, we saw Tanetta in the passenger seat of a car, whilst a man was driving.
She rubbed her baby bump, whilst wearing a gorgeous yellow ribbed dress and a pair of sunglasses.
Alongside the clip, Tanetta attached an audio that said: ‘She’s in her happy girl era…she’s genuinely happy, this is her turn.’
She then opened up about her life, as she penned: “Pregnant at 15, first child, super ghetto.
“By 24, I had four kids, different dads, crazy ghetto.
“By 27, I had five kids, different dads, not married! Insane ghetto.
“But God is a deliver and a restorer… I’m not the woman I used to be in sin.
“Baby number six on the way, different daddy, but he’s my husband after 11 years of marriage.”

Here's why I love being a young mum
Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother.
The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s.
She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they’re better behaved and happier.
Tracy told Fabulous: “Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s.
“I believe if I’d been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn’t have the relationship I have with my children now.
“For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience.
“I wouldn’t be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens.
“My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I’ve never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children.
“If I’d have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I’d be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing.
“As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn’t know any different.”
A third commented: “Good for you!”
Whilst someone else wrote: “Beautiful family. Sis, thank you for sharing your story!!!”
Meanwhile, another user shared: “Not ghetto – you’re a fighter!”
