New Zealand's minister for women has cycled herself to a birthing unit as she prepares to have her first child.

Green Party politician Julie Anne Genter posted a picture on Instagram saying she had arrived at Auckland City hospital to be induced – and had travelled by bicycle.

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

"My partner and I cycled because there wasn't enough room in the car for the support crew," she wrote.

"But it also put me in the best possible mood."

Genter, who was 42-weeks pregnant, said the ride was mostly downhill.

Imagine telling your "better half" that she has to ride to the hospital to give birth ...

As I recall Beryl Burton also rode to the hospital to give birth.
