NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, N.Y., is experiencing a baby boom — among its staff. Fifteen nurses and physician assistants are all pregnant, according to WCBS-TV, a CBS-affiliate station.

All 15 pregnancies occurred among staff working in the labor, delivery and neonatal intensive care unit sections. Their due dates range from April through September.

"I have a white board in my office," C.J. Catalano, manager of labor and delivery nurses at the hospital, told WCBS-TV. "I put all of their names, when they are due … because I have seven already coming back to cover this crew."

In March, Maine Medical Center in Portland announced nine of its labor and delivery nurses were pregnant concurrently.
