Tammy Duckworth, the freshman senator and Iraq war vet who lost both her legs in combat, announced she's pregnant with her second child in a Chicago Sun-Times exclusive (https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/tammy-duckworth-pregnant-first-sitting-senator-give-birth/) Tuesday.
Her pregnancy is a milestone. She will be the first sitting senator to give birth while in office. She's due later this spring. The Purple Heart recipient has a young daughter Abigail, who was born in 2014 while Duckworth was a U.S. representative. She was the tenth representative (http://history.house.gov/Exhibitions-and-Publications/WIC/Historical-Data/Familial-Connections-of-Women-Representatives-and-Senators-in-Congress/) to give birth while in office.
"I’m hardly alone or unique as a working parent, and my daughter Abigail has only made me more committed to doing my job and standing up for hardworking families everywhere," Duckworth said in a tweet (https://twitter.com/SenDuckworth/status/955982038972157955) after the announcement.
