Abby Bailiff gave birth to her son in the same hospital she's worked in as a nurse as she completed her doctorate.
Sometimes students have to contend with a lot going on at graduation time. Getting through finals, packing up a dorm room. Maybe an out-of-state move or getting married. But most don’t have a baby the day before their ceremony and still show up to walk.
However, that’s what Abby Bailiff, 28, did when her first child was due at around the same time as the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s School of Nursing graduation ceremony where she was receiving her Doctorate of Science in Nursing Practice. Her son’s due date was April 27, so Bailiff had originally thought she’d have some time to recover before the May 4 ceremony. However, she had to be induced on May 2 because of worries for her son’s lungs, according to “Bodie James was born on May 3 at the same hospital, Moses Cone in Greensboro, where Bailiff works. With the help of the nursing staff there, she was headed to graduation just a few hours after being released on May 4.
Those who have gone through postpartum recovery know that walking comfortably less than a day after giving birth is hard enough without doing so across a stage, in public. “This is the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. 😍” wrote TikTok user Leah on a viral video about Bailiff’s story that her sister posted at @hannahpaigern. That comment got more than 12,000 likes and the video now has 1.2 million views.
