As Carol Wang watches her pregnant daughter enter her North Side high school while dropping her off, she wonders if there was anything she could have done better as a parent in preventing Alexia from being a teenage mom.

"I had no idea she even liked anyone and if I did I wish she would have come to me to talk about it," Wang said.

Alexia is a sophomore and seven months pregnant. Her child is due sometime in June, leaving just enough time for her to finish out the school year.

Illinois ranks 18th among the states with the most teen pregnancies, according to National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Chicago leads among Illinois cities, accounting for more than half of all teen pregnancies.
