14 nurses at the same hospital are pregnant at the same time

This is similar to the reason that Commonwealth Edison, here in Chicago, stop the allowing the hiring of family members. In that instance the last straw is when somebody died in a third of the workers ditched work and went to the funeral.
- Shame they didn't have a nepotism policy before.

14 pregnant nurses and one glistening “Fertility Doctor” who just roams around the halls in an open bathrobe chugging orange juice straight out of the container.
- Milk, actually.
- The container being a 20 gallon bag that thw distributor uses to restock the vending machines in a municipality

Depends on how big the hospital is... Just asked one of my clients....they have around 100 pregnant nurses at any time. Well,they have around 2500 of them tbh.
- I was thinking the same thing, but apparently they are all in the same unit, which makes this more interesting.
  
  Did a new doctor recently start by any chance?

Sources report that the tall dark and handsome radiologist is shitting himself.
- It's always the radiologist.

I once worked at a retail job where at one time I had to work the 7AM shift. I get there and I’m the only male and all three of the female coworkers were pregnant.
I learned more about the female body than any single man should ever know.
- That women can get pregnant? I already learned that a while ago.

Caption: “we’re all looking for the guy who did this”
- “Every 10 seconds, somewhere in the world, a baby is born. Your mission is to find this woman and stop her.”

Y'all need to stop sending this article to my wife. I just clean the floors there.

“Yeah, we had a fun holiday work party, pretty normal. We didnt go that crazy.” - To their husbands/bfs when arriving home at 3am with tossled hair.

Ah life path number 3 combo for the Midwest woman. Become a nurse and have children.
Personally I'm bias, I saw four (women) friends either drop out of college, or get pregnant early, or one was convinced to give up her career by her future husband, all to drop in the fallback of nursing and then each have like 3 kids. They all live within 20 miles of where they were born and none of them followed through with the dreams they had. So I see this and my heart sinks remembering that, and wondering about them

Unless there are 3 of them hiding behind that machine, that looks like 11 to me?
- Only 11 were available for the photo. I'm guessing the others weren't on the same shift.
  
  Seems like that's a good time to go 'Oh, maybe we should change it to say 11 then'.
- 11 isn’t going to garner enough clicks. You need to pump up those numbers.

There’s a similar situation at my wife’s work. She’s one of nine to be pregnant, all on the same unit. At my work, there’s three of us who are either pregnant or whose wife is pregnant. All pregnancies, both at her work and mine, are due at around the same time.

Is this related to the phenomenon that women who spend a lot of time together start to align menstrual cycles? Or is that just a misogynist urban legend? I don't even know what's true anymore.
- That's actually a myth. The thing is that menstrual cycles have different durations and time in-between. So given some time, those will coincide between them. Just like planet alignments and such.
- @Strobelt@lemmy.world read that so then wondered about the besties in high school who claimed its veracity
