Just read this story and have to add that YOU HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER AT THE TIME THE APPLICATION IS MADE !
they changed that beginning of april this year!!!!
Definately on the work permit and i m sure also on the PR
so make sure that you are actually living together when you apply for your visa

I am only on a working holiday visa, but got a job offer 2weeks after i arrived here for a permanent job so am in the process of applying for an open work permit under partnership now

I think you should know that whatever you did before, you are having a baby with a kiwi girl and are probably providing her with money, I dont think you ll have problems getting back into the country but should definately apply for PR.
you might have to do some begging and stuff, but like they said to me before: they cant make new zealanders leave the country to be with their partners .. so as strict as they might be on it you are not excluded for ever because you only got 'removed' and that s for a reason :)
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!
