In the history of the nation, only 10 members of Congress have given birth while in office and Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., is one of them.
Soon Duckworth will be in a class by herself.
Duckworth told me she is expecting her second child, another girl, in late April, a few weeks after she turns 50. The birth will make Duckworth the nation’s first senator to have a baby while serving in the chamber.
The other congressional births have all come while the female lawmakers were serving in the House.
“I feel great,” said Duckworth, a little over six months pregnant.
