Jacinda and Clarke sit down with Focus to discuss their pregnancy.
An Auckland maternity store owner says she almost slid off the couch when she took a call from the Prime Minister's office, requesting a shopping appointment.
Katrena Drum owns and manages 3 Bears Maternity, a Titirangi-based store which started from Drum's garage back in 2013.
Since then, she said the business had grown to thrive. However she was bemused when she had an email from a Government staffer asking for an appointment.
Seeing as the store's hours were online, Drum found it a little odd, but went ahead and gave the woman a call.
"She said thanks so much for calling back, I'm actually calling on behalf of Jacinda Ardern," Drum said.
So she was astonished to see Ardern's bodyguard standing at the door of 3 Bears on Saturday afternoon.
After the bodyguard checked the shop over for security risks, he gave Ardern the all-clear. Next thing Drum knew, the Prime Minister was walking through the doors of her store.
Drum described the moment as overwhelming.
"I'd like to say I probably did quite a cool walk towards her, but I probably ran.
"When I approached her, I think I went to hug her and she went to shake. Or she went to shake and I went to hug and there was a bit of an awkward moment there.
"Finally I said to her, I've only been to a polling booth twice in my life - once was to vote for Helen Clark and the other was to vote for you."
With the ice sufficiently broken, Drum said she launched into showing Ardern a selection of clothing.
Ardern was there for some time, she said, and bought quite a few things.
In a statement, the Prime Minister said she called into 3 Bears Maternity because it was local and handy for her.
"I popped in to pick a few bit and pieces, including a couple of skirts and a jumpsuit, basically because I needed something to wear."
