Congratulations Our Prime Minister. Great blessing for you and your partner. I really wish all the negative mean people here would shut up. Didn't your mum teach you guys any manners. God bless you Prime Minister. So exciting a baby is a gift from God.

And this is why New Zealand is the best.

Yeesh! Don't know too much about her but she doesn't seem to have put a foot wrong. Damn the New Zealander's for having her! Australia generally has all their talented NZ's coming over and establishing themselves here. Can we have Ms Adern? I'll babysit!

Jacinda, as a proud New Zealander, I am extremely happy for you and wish you all the best. I hope your little lovely and cute arrival will be healthy. New Zealand is going to have an another new fantastic Kiwi.

Congrats Jacinda what fab news! Cant please everybody i guess. Their opinions dont matter anyway😚

Even with the baby, she is doing a far better job then most men before her. That's what's worrying our typical "victimized white male", who is constantly complaining like a 90 year old with hemorrhoids.

As soon as she knew she could start trying for a pregnancy without it affecting the election result she did the smile says it all ...

People are Funny huh,
News-
"Jacinda is pregnant!"
People-
"Congratulations!"

But when people found out about John keys first born they were all like...

.."Late term abortion wouldn't be to bad..."

[alexjogyerek]

What's the big deal here people ? it is like she is pregnant with an alien or what !

[lewisjones]

‘I take my role as prime minister seriously’

‘Yeah by the way I decided to get pregnant, see you all in 6 weeks’

[venusallegrayerkovich]

Anyone who throws hate towards our Prime Minister can go shove it. Go away. I bet you couldn't run the country so stop being so ugly and be nice. I reckon she's a beauty. I think she's the best .

[zbudda]

Congrats, but wouldn't it have been more sensible to wait a while, in case of unforeseen complications?

[toddattwood]

i love jacinda, but i find it funny she continually pronounced the collective "women" as "woman" the entire time.... or is it the accent? I honestly can't tell ...

[annhughes]

What about baby Will? Ripped from his family

[gyrovague]

Good luck to them. Do kiwis not say 'wimmin' ??

Congratulations Jacinda your proving the job of Prime Minister of New Zealand isn't as hard as previously made out.

It's clearly a part time public speaking gig and its time that the lovely people of this great loving country were given a break and the PM pay were cut down from it's ridiculous  $470, 000.

Why is little New Zealand paying it's leader than the enormous nation of Canada NZ$392, 212.
The United Kingdom only pay NZ$288, 591.

We must be paying the most per capita globally.

I didn’t realise a man can get pregnant 🤔😂

[W..]

Lol good luck kiwis, when my girlfriend was pregnant she turned into an emotional monster. I definitely wouldn't recommend letting a pregnant women run a country if my girlfriends pregnancy experience is anything to go by.

This is like a Facebook pregnancy announcement on steroid.
