Married Helen Cartwright slept with the teenager, who is 27 years her junior, after months of flirting and admitted to police she knew he was underage, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.
Their relationship was initially 'hugging and kissing' before they had sex at her home in Dudley, West Midlands, last May.
Cartwright, who already had two children, fell pregnant and gave birth to his baby, who is now five months old.
They became a couple after he turned 16 and she left her husband.
Yesterday she was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for two years, after she admitted sexual activity with a child under 16 at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
She was also given a two-year supervision order and placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for 10 years.
Sentencing her Judge John Warner told Cartwright: 'You are not necessarily a sophisticated person and clearly gave no thought to the consequences.
'You should not have allowed things to continue as you did.
'There is clearly a significant difference in age but if this had happened two months later no crime would have been committed.
