It's go time! Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has gone into labour with her soon-to-be first child.
The Prime Minister's Office has confirmed Ardern has arrived at Auckland City Hospital, with her partner Clarke Gayford, to have their baby.
Up until now, Jacinda had still been active in the community and carrying out her role as PM.
Anyone with aspirations of being PM, make sure you also have an appetite for reading and reading and reading and reading. #stillwaiting pic.twitter.com/AzwzkYPIKD

This means Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters is now Acting Prime Minister.
There will be no further formal anouncements from the Prime Minister's office until Jacinda Ardern and Clarke Gayford announce the birth of their baby.
We thought 2017 was a big year! This year we’ll join the many parents who wear two hats. I’ll be PM & a mum while Clarke will be “first man of fishing” & stay at home dad. There will be lots of questions (I can assure you we have a plan all ready to go!) but for now bring on 2018 pic.twitter.com/nowAYOhAbF
