There’s something in the water at a North Carolina hospital that recently revealed that six of its nurse practitioners are all expecting.
To make the event even more serendipitous, all of the nurses work in the same unit, WXII-TV reported.

Patients have taken to referring to the nurses — Katie Carlton, Emily Johnson, Nikki Huth, Sabrina Hudson, Nina Day and Bethany Stringer – as “The Fabulous Six Pack” of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
“Each time that we found out somebody else was pregnant, it was like, well who is next?” said Day, an ambulatory nurse.
Fellow ambulatory nurse and first-time mother Johnson said that instead of making her husband “go crazy,” she’s been sharing the pregnancy ride with her coworkers.
“I have a lot of anxiety, like I’m going to worry about everything,” Johnson said. “To keep from making my husband go crazy, I just talk about my issues here and they make me feel a lot better.”

All of the women are between 18 and 37 weeks pregnant, WFMY-TV reported.
“It’s been wonderful leaning on one another and comparing stories and getting and sharing advice,” Carlton, an assistant nurse manager, said.

The hospital posted a photo of The Fabulous Six Pack to Facebook, congratulating the women on their blessings to come.
“It’s exciting because, you see these people every day and they’re a part of [your] family, and now they’re your pregnant buddies,” Carlton said, calling it ““truly a remarkable experience.”
