No I am afraid they dont. They stopped that quite a while ago.
If you have full residency then your baby can obtain a kiwi passport alongside the parents nationality.
There has been lots of issues recently and preganant women will not be allowed to be here for the latter part of the pregnancy as the NZ system can not cope with the extra births. Even if you attempted to offer to pay prior they will still refuse.

Hi there. I was pregnant when my husband & I were given WTR visa's. By the time everything was ready & flights were booked I was quite far gone. I checked with embassy about citizenship as she was meant to be born here, but they confirmed it is no longer the case, it stopped in 2006 (i think).
