I third Up the Duff...
Whatever you do, dont let her watch 16 and Pregnant or Teen Mom on MTV. I imagine it would be a bit too real for someone in her situation (although it should be compulsory viewing for all non-pregnant teens IMO!)

I 4th "Up The Duff" by Kaz Cooke - I was 20 when I got pregnant with my DS, and 21 when he was born, and it was the best book ever...
I just wish I hadn't had to return it to my SIL who was also around 20-21 when she got pregnant with her 1st and first bought the book, as it would come in really handy right about now when I've forgotten most of what late pregnancy was like lol
I was 18 when pg with DS and i LOVED 'what to expect when you're expecting'
I 5th Up the Duff by Kaz Cooke easy to read and funny in parts, I didnt like what to expect when you are expecting at all.
another recommendation is Miriam Stoppard - easy to read and pics (not graphic ones just informative for each stage of pregnancy and then taking care of baby. Her new book Bonding with your Bump I am going to buy and her older other books - I have Conception Pregnancy and Birth.
for reference books I use Baby love by Robyn Barker which is awesome too.
The first book that came to mind was "up the duff"
I was a teen my 1st time around and found "what to expect when your expecting" very insightful. I read it this time round too and found it just as good as i remembered.
Thank you for all your replies and suggestions girls, very much appreciated! "Up The Duff seems to be in lead for most popular so far I'm thinking of getting a copy myself, just to have a readCos I'm most definitely not Up The Duff nor do I plan to be
She's been watching that for ages, obviously not real enough for her!
First book I thought of was up the duff also.
It deals with all the nitty gritty but with humour...very easy to read.
