I was like, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re really not drinking the water,&#8217;\u201d Miller added.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Dr. Anna Gorman, of Northland Obstetrics and Gynecology said it wasn\u2019t probable that all 11 of the staffers would be expecting at the same time. Gorman is expecting her second kid.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI think it\u2019s really unique because it\u2019s all in the same unit \u2026 and especially like our population ratio, I think is quite high. So sure it happens, but it\u2019s pretty exciting when it\u2019s this big,\u201d the OB-GYN said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cThis is definitely a great experience and it\u2019s something that I feel like we\u2019ll probably bond over for a lifetime, having the babies due around the same time,\u201d Alex Atcheson, a labor and delivery nurse, told \u201cGMA.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s been great to have each other for support and go through pregnancy together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Atcheson and her coworker Alison Harrell are 37 weeks pregnant and will give birth in the next two weeks, as both of them have the same due date of May 27. Their labor and delivery colleague, Katie Bestgen, is also due soon \u2014 on July 20.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlex and I figured out pretty early that we were due the same day,\u201d Harrell said. \u201cAnd then we started making a list of everyone and people just kept adding to the list as time went on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Christen Burns, 26, said she \u201cwas one of the last ones to tell everybody that I was pregnant,\u201d and is expecting her first kid. She said, \u201cI think it was just more exciting to add to the group and have everybody right there with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">The nurses and colleagues have been discussing their personal experiences, as well as taking part in celebrating the joyful news.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cIt\u2019s been really helpful. Just like getting advice and tips from my coworkers and especially the ones that have had babies before and just relating and like, \u2018Oh, do you have problems with your hips too, or different pains or that kind of thing?&#8217;\u201d Cheyenne Beaty said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">The 26-year-old labor and delivery nurse has enjoyed having people at work who can help give her support. \u201cIt\u2019s just nice that there\u2019s people around me going through the same thing for sure,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Therese Byrum is 27 years old, and said that recently there have been a minimum of two pregnant employees working together on a shift and they\u2019ve also had situations where everybody was pregnant on a shift. The obstetric float nurse goes between labor and delivery, the NICU, and in postpartum, and she will be one of the last employees to deliver her child, expecting her fourth kid on Thanksgiving Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hospital in Missouri is going to experience an incoming baby boom as 11 members of its staff \u2014 ten nurses and one doctor \u2014 are pregnant at the same<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":1482377,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1470451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1470451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/95"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1470451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1470451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1482377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1470451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1470451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1470451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
