    “我知道我们几个人做过生育治疗,”护士佩奇.帕卡德上周五在新闻发布会上说。

    帕卡德说,“突然就发现所有人都怀孕了”。我当时的反应是,“哦,好吧,这不是我的计划。我们之前有过约定,我一点也不知道”。

    There was no pact. The baby fever is just a happy coincidence.

    没有什么约定,同时怀孕只是一个幸福的巧合。

    The nurses said they all like to go to the cafeteria together to satisfy pregnancy4 cravings. One said she asked a cafeteria worker whether he could make the salad bar more "pregnancy-friendly," and suggested the cafeteria add pickles5 and olives.

    一位发言人说,医院已经为即将到来的护士短缺做了准备计划。这些护士的预产期是9月到2月,她们将休12周的产假。
