Maybe.
These are assumptions

- Lived overseas for the entire time of Covid
- Hasn't made an attempt to return to NZ at all
- Gets pregnant
- Now wants to try and return on an emergency spot.

And then she gets a spot, and someone else family member doesn't.
Or someones relative dies, or someone needs to get home.

As soon as you put a emotional POV on it, where does it stop. Who is deserving and who is not.
So, they put some requirements in to help.
One of those requirements is for it to be an emergency, it needs to be within 14 days - sounds reasonable. I wouldn't necessarily call it an emergency if you can wait another month.

Maybe they could reapply for a slot in the next 14 days.
