When abstinence fails, there's always reality TV.

MTV's fourth season of 16 and Pregnant premieres Tuesday, March 27, proving that although the U.S. teen birth rate has reportedly declined by nearly 10 percent, there are still plenty of cute teen mamas for casting directors to choose from.

So which baby bumpers made the cut?

The latest "docu-series" features 12 high schoolers whose lives are forever altered by pregnancy, motherhood and TV fame. The storylines range from a youngster whose baby daddy tragically drowned to a model and cage fighter forced to the sidelines by her growing belly. Plus: More cheerleaders than ever!

Meanwhile, MTV announced they've greenlit a third installment of their phenomenally successful Teen Mom franchise, whose cast is selected from the 16 and Pregnant stars.

Details are scarce about the latest 16 and Pregnant castmembers (and aspiring Teen Moms?), but we've sussed out the 411 on each of the girls so you can adequately prepare yourselves for the new season. You're welcome.
