Emily is the third episode of the third season of 16 and Pregnant. This episode follows 17-year-old Emily from Kentucky who is pregnant with her first child, a boy named Liam, and dealing with the challenges that come along with being a young mom.
Emily has always dreamed of becoming a nurse, but her plans are put on hold after she becomes pregnant with her boyfriend Daniel. While Emily is excited about having a child, Daniel is less than thrilled. He feels overwhelmed by the responsibility and is not sure if he is ready to be a father. This causes tension in their relationship, and Emily is left feeling alone and uncertain about their future together.
Throughout the episode, viewers witness Emily navigating the ups and downs of pregnancy, from attending doctor's appointments to preparing for the arrival of her baby. She is supported by her mother and sister, who are also young mothers themselves, and they offer her advice and guidance as she prepares for motherhood.

She worries about how she will be able to balance school, work, and caring for a newborn, and often feels overwhelmed and exhausted. In addition, she is faced with financial struggles as she tries to provide for her baby, which causes her to rely on the help of her family.
As the due date approaches, Emily and Daniel's relationship becomes more strained. Daniel starts to pull away from Emily and their baby, leaving her feeling abandoned and unsure of what to do. However, with the support of her family, Emily is able to push through and give birth to her son Liam.
The episode ends with Emily reflecting on her journey as a young mother and expressing gratitude for the support she has received from her loved ones. She is determined to continue pursuing her dreams while also being the best mom she can be to her son Liam.
Overall, Emily's story serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by young mothers and the importance of having a strong support system during this difficult time.
