The TLC reality show Unexpected follows the lives of several teenage girls who become unexpectedly pregnant and must navigate the challenges of motherhood while still in their teens. The show premiered in 2017 and has since aired multiple seasons. One of the main stars of the show is McKayla, who becomes pregnant at the age of 16. The show follows her pregnancy journey as she deals with the challenges of telling her parents, figuring out how to support herself and her baby, and dealing with the ups and downs of teenage motherhood. McKayla's story is both heart-warming and heart-breaking, as she struggles to balance her responsibilities as a new mom with her desire to still have a "normal" teenage life.

Another main star of the show is Lexus, who also becomes pregnant at a young age. Lexus is just 15 when she finds out she is pregnant, and the show follows her as she juggles school, work, and a new baby. While Lexus struggles at times to adjust to her new life as a mom, she also discovers a newfound sense of purpose and love in her daughter.

Finally, the show features Lilly, who becomes pregnant at the age of 16. Lilly's story is unique in that she and her boyfriend James are both transgender, and the show explores how their gender identities shape their experiences as parents. Despite the challenges they face, Lilly and James are determined to provide the best possible life for their daughter and to break down stereotypes surrounding teenage parents.

Overall, Unexpected is a powerful and emotional look at the realities of teenage pregnancy. Through the stories of McKayla, Lexus, and Lilly, viewers are able to see both the joys and struggles of becoming a parent at a young age. The show is a testament to the strength and resilience of these young women, and is sure to be a hit with fans of TLC's reality programming.
