14 nurses get pregnant at the same time in a ‘beautiful coincidence', hospital announces ahead of Mother's Day 2025
HSHS St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin, made the announcement during National Nurses Week.
For some, it will be their first child. Amy Bardon, the centre's director, called the pregnancy a special 'full-circle moment'. She said the nurses, already baby experts at work, would now gain personal experience, which would deepen their understanding.
'This is an incredible full-circle moment for many of our nurses, some of which are about to become first time moms themselves. I am so excited for each of our nurses and the journey they are embarking on,' Bardon said.

The US hospital is known for providing top-notch care to mothers and newborns. Many nurses give birth here themselves, and their colleagues look after them.
The hospital has a strong record in labour, delivery and baby care. It is certified by The Joint Commission for high-quality care before, during and after birth.
It also has the region's most experienced NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit) team, just steps away if babies need advanced treatment. The Women and Infants Center is linked to Green Bay's only children's hospital.
'When our expecting nurses are ready to welcome their little ones into the world, they'll be cared for by their friends and colleagues here at HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, and they find comfort in that,' Bardon said.
'But, even before labour, these women have already built some really unique bonds with their colleagues, and I love that each of them has the chance to go through this special moment with each other,' she added.
Social media users reacted to the news.
One user wrote, 'What a beautiful coincidence!'
'Did they plan this so they could all be off work at the same time?' quipped one user.
Another replied, 'This hospital is about to get very busy!'
In 2019, 14 nurses from the oncology unit at Massachusetts General Hospital told Director Ellen Fitzgerald they were pregnant. Four others had already given birth that year.

We take pride in being like our mothers, but some legacies need letting go
On one really tiring Sunday, past midnight, when I should've been in bed, I found myself in the kitchen, wrapping up after the guests had left. It was a Sunday evening, yet I couldn't bring myself to refuse visiting relatives. And despite my husband's insistence, I refused to order dinner from outside. I slogged through it, wasted my Sunday, and there I was, still in the kitchen, feeling obnoxiously drained, already dreading the start of another didn't think much of it until I came across a post by an acquaintance on Mother's Day that read: 'I am a lot like my mother, but I'm not proud of it.' It was a simple post, yet it struck a chord. She talked about how certain behaviours were ingrained in her by her mother, things she now knows she doesn't want to pass on to her own children. She wrote, 'It's not that she was bad or that we were deprived in any way. But it was her conditioning that I couldn't, or rather, trying hard to unlearn.'That post stayed with me. It made me reflect on my own conditioning, as a child, as a woman. Everything I've learned, from kitchen chores to balancing home and work, has my mother's influence woven through it. Including the automatic, almost compulsive instinct to serve home-cooked food whenever guests arrive. Is it also possible that behind that resilience was a woman who was tired, angry, lonely, but too dignified to say it out loud? (Photo: Generative AI) advertisement The writer wasn't vilifying her mother. She was simply questioning the legacy, the conditioning. And it made me wonder: how many of us are doing the exact same thing? Passing on the same quiet sacrifices with a ribbon of duty and love wrapped around them.'Many women grew up watching their mothers equate sacrifice with strength,' says Dr Chandni Tugnait, psychotherapist and founder of Gateway of Healing. 'They watched them hold families together, suppress emotions, stretch themselves thin, and somewhere, they absorbed the idea that this is what it means to be a good woman.'We often celebrate this as resilience. And to be fair, it is. But is it also possible that behind that resilience was a woman who was tired, angry, lonely, but too dignified to say it out loud?Absy Sam, a counselling psychologist based in Mumbai, opens up about this tug-of-war with honesty. 'My mother was a superwoman, a medical officer, a community teacher, a mother who did it all. But in doing it all, she lost bits of herself. I saw her take care of everyone's health but never really prioritise her own. That's one legacy I'm consciously breaking. I do not want to be a mom who has it all. I want to be a mom who is whole.'advertisementDr Tugnait calls it the myth of the 'one perfect role.' Sridevi in a still from English Vinglish. (Photo: IMDb) 'Women were expected to be caregivers, peacemakers, and perfectionists. But life doesn't need one mask; it needs authenticity. It needs women to know they're allowed to be soft and assertive. Nurturing and angry. Devoted and ambitious.'The hardest part? The most of us, stepping away from how our mothers conditioned us to be could feel like betrayal, even if it is for our survival. We struggle to separate gratitude from obligation. As Dr Chandni puts it, 'Gratitude says, 'I see you, I thank you, and now I'll walk my own way.' Obligation whispers, 'You owe her your choices.' But when we confuse the two, we end up living a life we didn't choose, out of love, yes, but also out of fear.'Anusree Sen, 58, is a Kolkata-based teacher born in the mid-60s as the fifth daughter in a traditional Indian family. She recalls how her own mother, despite being modern and educated, still couldn't support her fully when it came to big life was selected for a job in Delhi after a diploma from NIIT, a big deal back in 1990, but I was married off instead. Later, when I had a chance to work night shifts in a corporate job, I was asked to let it go for the sake of the family.' And yet, she adds, her mother's views evolved over time. 'As she saw how the world was changing, she encouraged us to let our daughters fly. Today, mine is pursuing a PhD in Sonipat, and I'm proud she has that freedom, and I also take pride in the fact that I let go of certain conditioning.'For Absy, the journey hasn't been about rejecting her mother, it's been about reclaiming what feels right. 'My mom taught me communication, consent, empathy; these are gifts I cherish and pass on to my daughter. But I'm also learning to say no, to rest, to not please everyone. I want my daughter to see that strength doesn't come from silence. It comes from boundaries.'advertisementThere's beauty in recognising both, what to hold on to, and what to let go what many might wonder is: what about the men, the sons of the household? Shouldn't they also reflect on the legacies passed down by their mothers?The answer lies in recognising that simply watching their mothers endure everything, and assuming that's how it should be — is where the problem a telling scene in the underrated film Akaash Vani (directed by Luv Ranjan), where Sunny Singh's character, Ravi, expects his wife to serve him dinner and do the 'needful' after he returns from work, even when she tells him she's in excruciating menstrual pain. His response? 'Humne apni maa ko toh kabhi kehte nahi suna ki woh down hain, isliye khaana khud lena padega.' (We never heard our mother say she was 'down,' so we had to get our own food.) A still from Akaash Vani. (Photo: YouTube) And that's exactly what men can unlearn. They should make sure, just because their mothers went through it, the story doesn't have to be repeated for their wives or perhaps maybe, just maybe, one day our daughters and sons will say, 'I'm a lot like my mother. And I'm proud, not because she did it all, but because she chose what mattered. And she chose herself too.'- EndsMust Watch

Heartfelt ways to reconnect with your ageing mom before it's too late
India is witnessing a rapid rise in its elderly population, with projectionsestimating over 300 million people above the age of 60 by 2050. Among them, elderly women, especially mothers, face distinct emotional challenges. After years devoted to nurturing their families, many now find themselves battling a quiet sense of abandonment, as the rhythm of modern life moves on without them. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Reema Nadig, director and group COO of Lifebridge Group, shared, 'For those living alone, the emotional strain of ageing is often amplified by prolonged periods of solitude. The quiet can be overwhelming, especially when there's little daily interaction or meaningful engagement.' She opined, 'Over time, this emotional weight can begin to affect overall well-being, disrupting sleep, dulling appetite and chipping away at energy and enthusiasm. What begins as loneliness can slowly wear down both the body and spirit, making it even more important to foster a lifestyle filled with connection, joy, and purposeful activity.' Celebrating our mothers with messages on birthdays or Mother's Day is meaningful but genuine support in their later years goes far beyond occasional expressions, it calls for consistent presence, compassion and active involvement. Dr Reema Nadig asserted, 'Adult children must understand that it's often the smallest gestures, a regular phone call, a visit, involving them in everyday decisions, or simply seeking their advice, that can breathe life back into their days. These actions do more than offer comfort; they affirm that they still matter.' She added, 'For many ageing mothers, what hurts most isn't just the physical distance, it's the emotional disconnect. They don't only miss their children's presence; they miss the feeling of being essential, of having a role in the lives they once built and nurtured.' India has long prided itself on its family-centric culture, where caring for elders is a moral and emotional obligation. Yet, with modern life pulling families across continents and work schedules becoming more demanding, intentions don't always match actions. This doesn't mean love has faded but our methods of showing it must evolve. This need becomes even more apparent as today's fast-paced lifestyle redefines how families connect and care. Dr Reema Nadig said, 'With children often living in different cities or countries and juggling demanding careers, traditional caregiving roles are being stretched. That doesn't mean love or intention has diminished but how we show care must evolve with the times.' For many adult children, this means accepting that being the sole caregiver may not always be possible and that's perfectly okay. Dr Reema Nadig said, 'Turning to community support, encouraging social engagement through senior clubs, or choosing professional elder care isn't a sign of neglect. It's a thoughtful, modern approach to ensuring mothers receive the companionship, emotional engagement and wellness-focused attention they deserve to enjoy vibrant, fulfilling later years.' Dr Reema Nadig suggested, 'Specialised elder care centers, senior social clubs and neighbourhood support systems are more than just amenities, they are vital spaces for restoring dignity and connection in the lives of aging mothers. These initiatives offer opportunities to rebuild community bonds and provide a renewed sense of purpose that can counteract the emotional toll of isolation.' According to her, simple activities like gardening, devotional gatherings, group storytelling, or art sessions may appear small, but they carry significant emotional weight. Dr Reema Nadig explained, 'They create space for joy, validation, and companionship, reminding mothers that they are not alone and that their lives continue to hold meaning. Investing in wellness programs that address both physical and mental health is not an act of charity but is a necessary step toward building an inclusive, caring society. One that truly values the well-being of its elders and honors the generations who came before.' Dr Reema Nadig recommended, 'To every son and daughter,take a moment to consider the emotional world your mother inhabits today. When was the last time you asked how she was really feeling? When did you last share a moment of laughter, or simply sit with her in silence? The remedy for loneliness often lies not in grand gestures, but in small, intentional acts of connection, a regular phone call, a message, or an unexpected visit. These gestures affirm her value and presence in your life.' The struggle of ageing mothers in isolation doesn't have to be an unspoken truth. With awareness, empathy and consistent effort, we can play a powerful role in transforming our mother's later years into a chapter marked not by decline but by dignity, companionship and emotional richness. After all, these women spent a lifetime lifting others up. It's time we return the embrace, with love, presence and care.

Mom guilt driving women out of workforce? Expert shares 4 health consequences of the emotional burden, what can help
