>>Hack. it's about time Americans start having babies again.

That's what the Hungarians and now Italians are saying. Meanwhile much of the rest of Europe is blessed with childless premiers who obviously cannot be relied upon to understand that logic. NZ has had a few similar, though the current PM had a baby and is due to return to work next week, after NZ's minimum 6 weeks maternity leave. She posted a video at the weekend in which she looks as you'd expect a first time mother to look at week 5. Will be interesting to see how the return to work goes. She will be under huge pressure to prove that of course it's possible to have a baby and then carry on as if nothing happened. The baby father is a TV presenter who apparently is going to be stay at home mum, though I see he's booked a long fishing expedition later this year...
