“I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child and hopefully children as my mom was to me.”
It appears that Chelsea Clinton’s pregnancy is going along quite smoothly, and by the looks of her giant bump she must be due in the very early part of fall 2014.
Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky, who currently live in New York City, have yet to tell the public what the sex of the baby is, but we know they will be happy with whatever they are gifted with.

So when can we expect Chelsea Clinton’s first child to arrive? Chelsea Clinton hasn’t yet announced a due date, but based on her announcement, we can speculate a time frame.
She announced her pregnancy on April 17. Typically parents wait at least two months before announcing a pregnancy to friends and family. If that’s the case with Chelsea Clinton, then her due date would be roughly late October to early November.
