Julie Ann Jenter: New Zealand MP who rides a bicycle to hospital for delivery of her baby

 BBC News

Just two years ago, the Speaker of the New Zealand Parliament was feeding the baby of a female Member of Parliament while assuming her presidency.

Earlier in 2017, an Australian woman MP became the first woman to breastfeed her baby during a session in the House of Commons, while the arrival of a British MP in the House with her baby on the same Tuesday caused a stir.

One such incident took place yesterday, when a New Zealand MP cycled to the hospital to deliver her baby.

New Zealand MP Julie Ann Jenter wrote in her Facebook post that she "felt pain late at night, so she picked up her bicycle and rode it to the hospital where she gave birth an hour later."

A few hours after the birth, she reported it on her Facebook page as follows: 'Great news! At three-four in the morning we welcomed a new member of our household. I did not plan to reach the hospital by bicycle, but it was my turn. "

"It was two o'clock in the morning when we left for the hospital," he added. My strain wasn't too severe, however, when it started to get worse, we were in the hospital ten minutes later. '

He has also posted many pictures of himself. One in which she is riding a bicycle, the other in which she is smiling in the car park before giving birth to her child while in the other she is happy with her husband and child.

Pictures of 41-year-old Julie Jenner, born in the United States, show that she was not alone. She was accompanied by her husband and was also cycling.

When people congratulated her on her post, someone wrote that "cycling made it easier for her to have a baby."

It should be noted that New Zealand, a country with a population of 5 million, is known for its simplistic politicians.

The country's prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, took a maternity leave in 2018 during her tenure as prime minister, and when her baby was just three months old and breastfed, she met with him at a UN meeting. I attended.

She is the second woman in the world to give birth to a child while holding the office of Prime Minister.

It is a coincidence that Julie Ann Janter has been pushing for bicycles to solve transportation problems and there is a post on her Facebook page 'I love my bicycle' and she is celebrating the birth of her first child. He also used a bicycle to go to the hospital.

His action is being appreciated on social media. The bold quality of production is growing," Dr. Iris Sutter wrote with the news.

But some have criticized him for taking the risk and calling for an ambulance.
