Because by that time, he told [_CNN_](http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/21/politics/clinton-grandchild-hint/index.html?hpt=hp%5Ft2), he may be welcoming his first grandchild into the world. “I hope by the first of October, I’ll be a grandfather,” Clinton said in an [interview that aired Sunday](http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/21/politics/clinton-grandchild-hint/index.html?hpt=hp%5Ft2). “I can’t wait.” Chelsea Clinton announced her pregnancy in April, which should make her about eight months along if she followed the typical rule of waiting three months before sharing her pregnancy. Both the former President and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said they are on “baby watch” over the weekend, in anticipation of their first grandchild. During a [speech](http://www.c-span.org/video/?321576-2/hillary-clinton-remarks-dnc-womens-leadership-forum) at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum on Friday, Clinton said she had been “thinking a lot about family because you know I’m on grandbaby watch.” The Clintons will be in for another surprise when the baby finally arrives: Chelsea and her husband have opted against learning the sex of the baby before it’s born. “They want to be surprised,” Bill Clinton said. \[[_CNN_](http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/21/politics/clinton-grandchild-hint/index.html?hpt=hp%5Ft2)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3417977/chelsea-clinton-baby-bill-hillary/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3417977/chelsea-clinton-baby-bill-hillary/"},"headline":"Bill Clinton Drops a Hint About Chelsea's Due Date","datePublished":"2014-09-22T12:47:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:19:46.734Z","description":"The baby should be arriving in early October","url":"https://time.com/3417977/chelsea-clinton-baby-bill-hillary/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","celebrities","White House","baby","Bill Clinton","People"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1a3ce26707ae8b3b/6986a48ad0b6f2ef61306382/chelsea-clinton-pregnant-baby.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1a3ce26707ae8b3b/6986a48ad0b6f2ef61306382/chelsea-clinton-pregnant-baby.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Clinton Global Citizen Awards at 2014 Clinton Global Initiative","caption":"Clinton Global Citizen Awards at 2014 Clinton Global Initiative","creditText":"Ray Stubblebine—EPA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3417977/chelsea-clinton-baby-bill-hillary/","name":"Bill Clinton Drops a Hint About Chelsea's Due Date"}}]}] ```
