Meh, Queen Victoria had nine kids while in charge of a superpower.
So? What about a heart attack, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and on and on.
You are basically saying a woman who wants a family shouldn't be in a leadership role.
Men don't have the potential to have health issues necessitating bed rest or other complications affecting their ability to fulfill their role? In the U.S. I can think of several presidents who had major health issues during their terms in office, some of which kept them in bed for extended amounts of time -- including the one who had the most terms of any U.S. Presidents.
You do realize that sometimes pregnancy is unplanned, even in happily married couples. Are you suggesting that women of childbearing age should never hold public office because of the chance of pregnancy?
Or maybe she didn't realize/care about the optics of becoming pregnant only 3 months after taking the job. Who knows
She didn’t become pregnant 3 months into the job-she was already a month pregnant when she started.
I wonder if ops political preferences are the cause of her displeasure with the PM's pregnancy.
Correct. There's no chance of a male experiencing complications during pregnancy.The deputy. A very unpopular politician.
Men don’t carry children-there is no risk of them being put on bed rest or having other complications that affect their ability to fulfill their role.
tBoth men and women have a risk of medical issues during their term.
Pregnancy however is a choice. Not to say she shouldn’t be able to have kids, but I do think it was misleading and unprofessional to take on such a role knowing she was already pregnant.

I think that goes without saying, which means nothing to me. I don't keep up with their politics.I wonder if ops political preferences are the cause of her displeasure with the PM's pregnancy.
Now I don't know that that's fair. I'm sure there are plenty in the US who agree with the OP.And have a hot dinner on the table at 6 PM.
Is New Zealand really that far behind the United States in its consensus regarding what women are capable of?
Really. At least they have a woman PM.Now I don't know that that's fair. I'm sure there are plenty in the US who agree with the OP.
She probably didn't know. I found a conception calculator and, assuming a 6/1 due date, conception would have probably occurred between Septmber 4 and 12. Two to three weeks before the election. Yeah, she didn't know yet.I just read that the election was September 23rd. If she's due in June she may not have even been pregnant yet. Or if she was she may not have known. What do you think she should have done when she found out?
