Following this, a doctor is seen interviewing another pregnant teenage girl. Part 2 - “Clinic Talk” - Deborah has just had her pregnancy confirmed - is paying her first visit to the ante-natal clinic. Now, as she waits for her boyfriend she meets Sarah, who is expecting her second child. Part 3 - “Sarah and Eric”.
