"Family members said the woman did not know she was pregnant until she felt the baby coming early Wednesday morning. According to one Redditor, an obstetrician and a pediatric trauma nurse were both camped nearby and rushed to aid the delivery when she went into labor. The parents then drove themselves to the campground's medical facility before being airlifted to a major hospital where the baby could receive specialized intensive care."
A festivalgoer unexpectedly went into labor on the Playa and gave birth at Black Rock City. The newborn, nicknamed "Citizen Zero," weighed 3 lbs 9.6 oz and measured 16.5 inches. The infant is in the NICU and gaining strength while the mother is recovering. Nearby medical professionals aided the delivery before the parents were taken to the campground medical facility and then airlifted to a major hospital for specialized care.
