New Zealand politician casually cycled to hospital to give birth
Sundays are usually a lazy, uneventful affair for many of us.
Not for the 42-week pregnant New Zealand Minister for Women, Julie Anne Genter, who made her way to hospital for an induction.
That's all very normal, except perhaps for her mode of transportation. Instead of getting in a car, she cycled to the hospital instead.
"My partner and I cycled because there wasn’t enough room in the car for the support crew... but it also put me in the best possible mood!" she wrote on Instagram.
Genter added in a comment that it was "mostly downhill to the hospital," and that she had "probably should have cycled more in the last few weeks to get the labour going."
The Green Party MP also happens to be the associate minister for transport, and there are a lot of pictures featuring a bike on her Instagram.
It's expected Genter will take three months off for maternity leave. Her baby plans come shortly after New Zealand's Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, returned to work in early August after having a bub of her own.
In the meantime, we're just impressed, especially as we barely did anything on Sunday.
