Amber Portwood’s lunch with a friend keeps getting interrupted by a crying baby. The problem is, the baby is Amber’s. She packs up and leaves the restaurant before she can finish eating.
Quieting a fussy baby is all in a day’s work for the 19- year-old and her co-stars on MTV’s new reality show, “Teen Mom” (10 p.m. EST Tuesdays). The show premiered to the highest rated series on the network in more than a year.
The girls on the show aren’t strangers to cameras — they were also on MTV’s “16 and Pregnant,” which aired last summer. “Teen Mom” revisits the young mothers several months after giving birth.
