THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Rep. Enid Waldholtz has become the second member of Congress to give birth while in office.

The 36-year-old Utah Republican gave birth to her firstborn, Elizabeth, on Thursday. The baby weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces.

Both mother and daughter were reported doing well. Waldholtz had been in labor since Wednesday, when her doctor induced labor.

The path to maternity in Congress was blazed in 1973 when then-Rep. Yvonne Braithwaite-Burke of California gave birth to a daughter.

Waldholtz worked throughout her pregnancy. Her husband, Joe Waldholtz, is an unpaid aide in her office.
