A WOMAN who gave birth twice in her teens has shared a look into her life.
Lindsey Loftis is just 18 years old and yet already has two children with different fathers.

Now, she works full-time as her partner is in jail but she vows to wait for him[/caption]
Speaking to Love Don’t Judge, the teen mum shared that life had clearly not been easy for her, but that didn’t stop her from trying.
While Lindsey might be 18 with two kids under five, she still finished school and works to provide for them while her baby daddy is locked up.
“I go to work, I make my money and I provide them with everything they need to live,” she said.
“I strive for them to have a better childhood than I had.”
The young mum first got pregnant when she was 14 with her eldest child, but she and the baby daddy split up soon after when she caught him cheating.
She added that Clyston, her current partner, was his best friend and to get payback on the affair she had one with Clyston.
When she was 15, Lindsey fell pregnant again and has had many negative comments thrown her way.
“They’ll say ‘You ruined your life, you ruined your body, kids shouldn’t be having kids,’” she explained.
“Which is not true because we’re obviously not kids if we can have kids.”
The mum revealed the pair have been on and off for two years, even breaking up when she was pregnant with his child.

Lindsey said Clyston wasn’t acting right and soon after he got sent to jail.
While he was in the jail cell they rekindled their romance, but four weeks after his release he was jailed again for outstanding warrants.
He now has a year and a half left to serve of his three-year sentence, and Lindsey hasn’t given up on him.
Now she says she writes to him everyday and keeps him updated on how their kids are doing too.
She added: “Even if we weren’t on good terms or whatever I’m doing all of this for my family I want him to be in my family.”
The video went viral on Love Don’t Judge with over 21k views and people were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person wrote: “She is a dedicated mum. Good for her.
Another commented: “Unpopular opinion but good for her. She’s working and providing for her babies and she looks good/healthy. She’s doing well as a young parent going through all this.”
“Say what you want. She looks like a good mom with a well-kept environment,” penned a third.
