Jamie Lynn Spears welcomed her first child, Maddie, when she was just sixteen-years-old, and has revealed that things were not great with her family when she told them she was expecting.
Speaking on her documentary, Jamie Lynn Spears: When the Lights Go Out, the mum-of-one explained how her '"world came crashing down" when she found out she was pregnant.
And she was so scared to tell her own mum that she wrote a note and waited in another room while she read it.
Naturally, Jamie Lynn’s mum, Lynn, was so shocked that she initially thought it was a joke, and her dad, Jamie, was not pleased either.
“For me I think the world stopped a couple of seconds, I did not take it well to be honest with you, it was a complete shock," he revealed on the show.
"I just kind of lost it for a while.”
I feel so blessed to be able to tell my story in such an honest way

Adding that things were not great with her family, Jamie Lynn felt like she had left people down.
"I am not going to sugar-coat it, I felt extremely guilty, I lived my life trying to be this perfect girl and I was about to let people down."
The Zoey 101 star said that she felt a responsibility towards her fans, and knew she had a tough decision to make.
“I knew I had a lot of young girls who looked up to me and I felt that responsibility, but at the end of the day I knew I would have to make a decision as a young girl myself, to do something that I could sleep with at night,” she explained on the show.
“I knew deep down that I was going to have my little girl, even if I had to raise her on my own, which is what I did.”
Jamie Lynn, who is now married to Jamie Watson, was engaged to her daughter's father for a while, and has said that her little girl has a great relationship with her dad, Casey Aldridge.
