Lara Trump, also 33, said she experienced fatigue and exhaustion early on in her pregnancy but is now feeling great.
“It really affected me. But I’m feeling really good now,” she told People.
She added that her father in law, President Donald Trump, was “so excited” to find out she was expecting “that we were worried he’d blurt it out at a press conference.”
