A couple at Burning Man met an unexpected guest one night at his rolling house camper.
In a statement of Today.com, a spokesman for the Burning Man project confirmed that a baby was “spontaneously” born on August 27 at Black Rock City, Nevada, where the annual festival takes place.
Kayla Thompson told the New York Times that she was asleep with her husband, Kasey Thompson, in her rolling house camper when she suddenly began to experience a lot of “pain.”
“Minutes later,” said Kayla Thompson to the publication that was giving birth to the couple’s first child in their campist’s bathroom. Soon he met a 3 -pound girl and 9 ounces.
The couple told the New York Times in the interview that they had not been planning for a child, or Kayla Thompson knew she was pregnant.
He explained that she did not seem pregnant and “had no symptoms” of pregnancy.
“Even hospital nurses said: ‘It does not seem that you were pregnant at all,” he said to the publication.
After his wife gave birth, Kasey Thompson recalled having run out of the RV to ask for “anyone who comes to help us.” He met with a neonatal care nurse, a pediatric doctor and an obstetric gynecologist, as well as other festival attendees, he said in the interview.
Burning Man’s medical staff then arrived at the site to help. According to the statement to Today.com, Kayla Thompson and the newborn were taken to the Burning Man Emergency Care Center before being transferred to a hospital in Reno, Nevada.
The couple told the New York Times that there was only room for the baby to be transferred by plane to the hospital, and Kayla Thompson had to travel by ambulance. Kasey Thompson said he faced the decision to ensure that his baby approached the helicopter or leave at that time with his wife.
Calling him “the most difficult decision of my life,” he said he was encouraged to accompany his wife and chose to travel with her to the hospital.
When they arrived, the couple recalled that Kayla Thompson was taken to a room, while Kasey Thompson went to see her baby in the neonatal intensive care unit.
“She was healthy and healthy, and I was very excited,” said Kasey Thompson.
“Burning Man Project would like to extend the congratulations and assets valuable to the family,” said the spokesman in a statement. “In the middle of the wind, heat and storms, they brought a new life to the world in Black Rock City. Of all the things we celebrate in Burning Man, bringing life, connection, transformation and joy are more loved to our hearts.”
