This is a pretty disturbing movie to watch, especially when you know it is inspired by a true story. Teenagers making a pact to get pregnant together is really scary and makes you wonder what would push them to do something like that.
Gloucester Massachusetts, is Americas oldest seaport. It is known for its beaches, seafood and its New England charm. Many movies, including “The Perfect Storm”, and “Mermaids” have used Gloucester as a back drop. Last summer, the city got the National press it did not want nor need, thanks to an increase of teen pregnancies that were rumored to have come out of a pact; a pregnancy pact.
Remember that pregnancy pact at Gloucester High School? You know, where everyone thought some Gloucester teens made a pact to get pregnant, but really they just all got pregnant at the same time (one of them by a homeless man!) and made a pact to raise the babies together? And Time magazine said it happened because of opposition to abortion, and others said it was because Gloucester is crumbling, and it was a big uproar for a while but has now disappeared except presumably there are still babies being raised by teens as a result?

The amount of pain felt during childbirth is different for every woman.
