A teenage girl was shocked when she discovered she was pregnant at the age of 15. At first, she thought she was lactose intolerant.
Sophia Kadmiri of Santa Cruz, California, became pregnant with her son while still in school.
Sophia, now 16, often felt sick and tired in the morning. She thought this was because she had been suffering from a dairy intolerance for years.
But as the illness progressed, it became clear to Sophia and her boyfriend that she was pregnant.
“I actually didn’t think I was pregnant at all,” she explains in a TikTok video.

‘I was very sick and tired all the time and didn’t think anything of it. I thought it was because I was eating a lot of dairy products, when I’ve always had a dairy intolerance.’
Sophia attended a private Christian school and often received excellent grades. She shocked her friends and family when she announced she was going to be a mother.
Although the teenager had some reservations at first, he soon fell in love with the idea of raising a child.
Worried about their family’s reaction, the young parents finally dared to share the big news.
Sophie decided to tell her grandmother first and waited until she left the house to text her.
To make sure the pregnancy was legitimate, her grandmother immediately went to the store to get a test for Sophia, which turned out to be positive.
Although her family initially reacted with disappointment, Sophia and her boyfriend were forced to be more responsible and given the opportunity to take responsibility.
Although her boyfriend was scared to tell his parents, they were very supportive, even though his mother was a teenage pregnant herself.
Sophia often felt sick and tired in the morning and attributed her problems to a dairy intolerance that she had struggled with for years.
Sophia has now embraced motherhood and regularly posts about her teenage motherhood on TikTok
Sophia opened up about the confusion surrounding her dairy intolerance: ‘I had been with my boyfriend for about a year and I was very sick and tired all the time.
“My boyfriend already figured it out and thought I was pregnant. I didn’t think so,” she continued.
“Me and the baby are great, we have adventures as a family, him and his dad.”
Sophia has now embraced motherhood and regularly posts on TikTok about her life as a teenage mother.
“I may be young, but becoming a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me,” she wrote in a post.
