Missouri hospital nurses expecting 36 babies this year

Nurses at Children's Mercy in Kansas City, Mo., are experiencing a baby boom, with 36 births among nursing staff expected this year, according to KMBC-TV, an ABC affiliate.

The nurses all work in the hospital's intensive care nursery, where infants who need advanced care are sent. Of the 36 expected babies, 20 have been born.

The hospital posted a picture of the pregnant nurses and the nurses whose babies have been born on its Facebook page last week.

Several hospitals have announced simultaneous pregnancies among staff this year, including Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns in San Diego and NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, N.Y.
