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 Tuesday.

Her pregnancy is a milestone. She will be the first sitting senator to give birth. She’s due later this spring. She has a daughter, Abigail, who was born in 2014 while Duckworth was a U.S. representativeNine other women serving in the House of Representatives have given birth while in office.
