Clinton and husband Marc Mezvinsky welcomed their daughter on September 26. "Marc and I are full of love, awe and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky," Chelsea tweeted after the birth.
Theformer first daughter joined Christy, founder ofEvery Mother Counts, a non-profit organization dedicated to making pregnancyand childbirth safe for every mother.
Christyset up the organization following the birth of her first child as she sufferedfrom an unexpected postpartum hemorrhage. Her recovery was the result of a quickresponse from an efficient medical team. But Christy then wondered about women whodo not have access to this healthcare and took action.
“Weare sisters in motherhood,” states Burns. “When a child is born, a mother isalso born.”
