“We were thrilled to share the news with my parents and my mother-in-law. They were so excited for us,” Clinton explained of her pregnancy.
Acknowledging that “every grandchild is so special,” she said it’s a “different dynamic” for her parents compared to her mother-in-law, former Congresswoman Marjorie Margolies. The next Clinton Mezvinsky will be the Clintons’ third grandchild, while he or she will be Margolies’ 23rd.

Back in 2015, shortly after giving birth for the first time, Clinton revealed to PEOPLE that becoming a mother changed her entire world.
“I didn’t know I could care more intensely aboutanything until I became a mom,” she explained. “Somehow I love my husband even more, I love my parents even more. I feel even greater urgency about the work that I do, particularly around women and girls, being a mom of a daughter.”
“And I think my love for Charlotte has just opened more space in my heart and my brain that I didn’t even know was there,” Clinton shared.
