Jordan and Angel met on a social networking website. After chatting online for several months, Jordan eventually drove the hour and a half drive from Lincoln to Loughborough to meet Angel in person for the first time and go for lunch. The teenagers fell in love and soon became pregnant.

Being in the birthing pool with Angel is very daunting

When Angel did a pregnancy test she photographed it and sent the image to Jordan. Jordan didn’t have a clue what it meant as he had never seen one before. The couple have now moved in together – it’s the first time they are living away from parents and they are adjusting to the responsibilities of being independent.

While both are thrilled about the prospect of having a baby, they are also worried about the practicalities. Angels Mum is going to be at the labour too and Jordan is worried he won’t be able to do anything for Angel and could end up being a spare part. He is particularly concerned about seeing her in pain and not being able to help. They are planning a water birth and the couple would love Jordan to be able to get in the pool with Angel and if all goes to plan catch their baby.

Jordan is a Graphic Design student at Lincoln University who works part time at Mcdonalds. He wouldn’t class himself as a typical student and doesn’t like to go out very much. He prefers to have a beer with the family instead. Jordan is into gaming and spends much of his free time on his Xbox. When not gaming or studying he is spending time with Angel. After graduating, Jordan hopes to become an ICT teacher.

Angel loves children and describes herself as a big kid. She works as a nursery assistant and loves watching Disney films. Family is very important to Angel and she is looking forward to moving into her new home with Jordan and having a big family of her own.
