New Zealand’s Minister for Women has been labelled a role model after riding her bicycle to the hospital to give birth at 42 weeks pregnant.

Julie Anne Genter, 38-year-old American-born politician, has frequently publicised bicycle initiatives through her social media, shares Daily Mail.

‘Beautiful Sunday morning for a bike ride, to the hospital, for an induction to finally have this baby. This is it, wish us luck!,’ Ms Genter wrote.

‘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!’
