LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. — It was a baby boom at a hospital in Missouri.
Last year, sixteen nurses in one hospital’s maternity unit were all pregnant and giving birth within the same 12-month period.
The group of nurses at Saint Luke’s East Hospital, which is outside of Kansas City, were all pregnant at this time and then gave birth within the same year.
It’s a story that — thanks to this picture — got national attention on Good Morning America. Now, all the babies have been born and they’ve shown up to take another picture.
The nurses say having their own kids and sharing these stories helps them understand the pregnancy process with their patients.
“It means a lot to be going through it with your coworkers and your friends,” nurse and new mother Ellie Kongs said.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
