Linda Sanchez is pregnant with first child

U.S. Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Lakewood) announced Thursday that she is pregnant with her first child.

Sanchez made the announcement in an op-ed column in the Los Angeles Times.

The four-term congresswoman is not yet married to the baby's father, consultant Jim Sullivan, although they have been dating for more than a year.

"I don't know how it'll be received," Sanchez said. "I hope people will recognize that to be able to plan that in your life — I don't think that marriage and childbirth are black and white. There are certain instances in which you have to do things in reverse order."

The baby is due May 21.
