14 NICU Nurses Pregnant At Once At Missouri Hospital

At Saint Luke’s East Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, the NICU and labor and delivery nurses also became pregnant at the same time. Caitlin Hall, a labor and delivery nurse, was the first to give birth. On June 3, she gave birth to Hunter, a daughter.

There’s a “baby boom” occurring at one hospital in Missouri.

At the same time, 14 neonatal nurses who work in the Kansas City hospital Saint Luke’s East’s Labor & Delivery and NICU are expecting babies.

First among the group to give birth was registered nurse Caitlin Hall from the labor and delivery unit.

On June 3, she gave birth to her daughter Hunter.

“I thought I was the only one that was trying to get pregnant,” Hall told Fox News Digital.

“It was my first pregnancy, so I was trying to keep quiet until about 12 weeks, but other people started announcing, so I told everyone as well,” Hall said.

“Then, it was about every two weeks, someone else would announce, ‘I’m pregnant.’”

After having a child, Hall claims she can relate to other moms more and believes she will be able to console her patients in ways she couldn’t before.

The 13 additional infants who will join the Saint Luke’s family are now being held at the hospital. There are both boys and girls expected, while some mothers prefer to wait until the baby is born to determine its gender.

The combined due dates for the nurses are spread throughout the entire month of December.

“We can’t wait to spoil these moms and babies just like we do with every special delivery at Saint Luke’s,” the hospital wrote in a Facebook post, on June 8.

In the NICU at Saint Luke’s, registered nurse Ellie Kongs told Fox News Digital that she was delighted to be able to share this precious occasion with her staff. The due date for her delivery is in late October.

“We have such a different perspective [on pregnancies] as OB nurses, so to be able to experience this all together has been such a relief but also really exciting to go through this season together,” Kongs said.
