Nine nurses who work in the labour ward of a hospital in Maine, US, are all expecting babies in the next few months.
Maine Medical Centre revealed the coincidental news on Facebook, with photo of eight of the nine pregnant nurses showing off their bumps. The tribe of infants are due to arrive throughout April and July.
The picture showed the nurses wearing their hospital scrubs, while holding cards indicating their due dates. The cards were a mix of pinks, blues and greens, presumably representing the sex of the babies as female, male or unknown.

According to WMTW-TV, the nurses are supporting each other throughout the pregnancies as they even plan to be there for each other's deliveries.
"After each one of us started to say 'we're pregnant,' I think it was a happier announcement each time, and we're all there for each other," nurse Erin Grenier said.
"There's been times where we've been the patient. So it's been great to have each other being our nurse or just being there for us, sending us a message, checking in on us making sure everything is okay."

Nurse Amanda Spear added: "It's really nice coming to work and seeing other people who are just as pregnant and watching their bellies pop and just talking about these experiences that we are going through together."
"I think that they tend to feel comforted and they also tend to find that it's a common ground between us," nurse Nicole Goldberg said.
Nurse Lonnie Soucie said: "I don't think it hit home until we took a picture and it was on social media and we were getting all this attention, and then it was like 'whoa, you weren't kidding.'"
Registered nurse Rachel Stellmach, who is ready to give birth to her fourth baby, said: "It's great to talk to everyone. Troubleshoot and answer questions too, since I'm kind of a pro."
