Having a kid is one of the most joyous occasions in a parent’s life, however the prospect of becoming pregnant again may be terrifying.
That’s exactly what transpired to new mom Chloe Wren, who had only six weeks of respite before becoming pregnant with her second kid – and her predicament has been dubbed a scary story.
The adolescent mother gave birth to her baby girl Everleigh in June and was overjoyed to be able to rest her body. Yet rest and relaxation were never intended.
Chloe revealed her great news to the world in a new TikTok video, captioned POV-you forgot what contraception means.

The video opens with infant Everleigh in her hospital crib before being escorted outside by her father.
Leaving the hospital with their infant, happy NOT to be pregnant, the text says.
Footage then changes to a scene of two pregnancy tests, one with the phrase ‘pregnant’ and the other with the recognizable blue cross.
Chloe is now the delighted mother of five-month-old Everleigh, and she is four months pregnant with her second child, whom she believes will be a girl.
An estimated 18.7 million people watched Chloe’s surprise revelation, and some mothers can’t think of a worse circumstance.
“A truly horrific story,” one stunned user said.
“6 weeks????” said another. For 6 months, I didn’t want him to even look at me! ”
Others were more worried about Chloe’s physical well-being, with one saying, “I can’t fathom the internal harm.” I’d be afraid.”
However, it is not all terrible news. While many people were frightened by the prospect of having two children under the age of one, others urged Chloe to look on the bright side.
“They’re going to be driving and graduating at the same time,” one asserted confidently.
Another mother sent her condolences and best wishes for the future: “Haha same! Mine were intended to be 10 months apart, but my second was induced, so they are 9 months apart. They are now great buddies at the ages of four and five.”
Chloe’s tale has been popular on TikTok several times before. Throughout her pregnancy with Everleigh, the young mother received derogatory remarks from people who assumed they knew better.
“Why would you have a baby so young?” one person inquired. You wrecked your adolescence.”
Some were even ruder, implying that she should have had an abortion.
But Chloe doesn’t regret her decision, saying in another video to detractors, “How can you. My babies, my decision.”
