first

my daughter said she had heard Michele Obama was pregnant. She didn't say where she heard this and it is possible she dreamed it but I got to thinking had any wife of a president had a child while her husband was in office? I did a google search and came up empty but JFK wife Jackie had a child before he took office, Patricia who died.

It would be a first if Michele was to deliver a child while Barack was in office.

Here's what Michele told Oprah: "Here's the scoop. Not pregnant. And not planning on it."

Jacqueline Kennedy, but the infant died shortly after birth

I believe Teddy Roosevelt and his wife had a child while in office.

I believe the first was President Grover Cleveland and his wife. Between 1893-1897.

Esther Cleveland, second child of President Stephen Grover Cleveland and Frances Cornelia Folsom, was the only child of a president born in the White House. She was born on September 9, 1893, during Clevelands second stint in the White House. The first child born in the White House was James Madison Randolph, son of Martha Jefferson Randolph, daughter of Thomas Jefferson. "
this is what I got from Wikianswers

Michelle Obama told one reporter that she is not pregnant. "The baby bump is a brownie bump. Too much snacking since Obama took office."
