But my mom is expecting a big new job. Will getting pregnant screw up my mom’s career?_ _Chels_ — Dear Chels, That depends. As USA Today put it, [“It’s unclear how \[your\] pregnancy will affect \[your mom\], who is considering a race for president in 2016.”](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2014/04/17/chelsea-clinton-pregnant/7836283/) But many other presidents have had [grandchildren while in office.](http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What%5Fpresidents%5Fhad%5Fgrandchildren%5Fin%5Foffice) Most of these presidents are dead. All of them are men. This raises an interesting question. If it’s ordinary when it happens to “regular” women, is it _extra_ordinary when it happens to a woman candidate? PP — _Hi again Pregnancy Pundit,_ _I keep feeling happy for myself, even though I know this is really about my mom. What can I do to be less selfish?_ _Chels_ — Dear Chels, We both know you can’t have it all. It might help you feel less guilty to participate in a choreographed family tweet-off about your news. That will show that you’re a team player. PP — _Pregnancy Pundit,_ _Sorry last question. Politico published a_ [_photo retrospective_](http://www.politico.com/gallery/2014/04/chelsea-clintons-life/001762-025046.html?ml=po%5Fg) _of my life. Am I dying?_ _Chels_ — Chels, You’re not dying. But your whole purpose these last 20 years has been to illuminate whether your parents would become grandparents. Now that we know the answer, it’s time for a sentimental look back. Enjoy!
