It was a beautiful morning, according to New Zealand's minister for women, so after 42 weeks of pregnancy she decided to hop on her electric bicycle and ride to the hospital to give birth to her first child.
Julie Anne Genter this week posted a picture of herself outside the Auckland City Hospital holding her bike, saying she was ready to be induced and "finally have this baby."
"So pleased to hear of the safe arrival of the newest addition to the parliamentary play group," Ardern wrote. "Hope you enjoy those very special first few days." Genter's ride to the hospital made news around the world, and her Instagram photo was noticed by actress Kristen Bell, who wrote on Twitter "what a babe."
