A California woman became a mom in the blink of an eye after going into labor while attending a popular electronic dance music festival in Las Vegas.
Cristina Celis, 29, of Santa Clarita, was enjoying a late set at Electric Daisy Carnival when she suddenly went into labor, according toNBC affiliate KSNVandLas Vegas Review-Journal.
Although she wasn’t entirely sure what was going on, after seeing a medic, doctors determined she needed to be hospitalized.
“They came back and they’re like, ‘Because of how far along you are, we do prefer you go to the hospital,’ so they transported me to the hospital,” Celis told theReview-Journal.
Celis was transported to University Medical Center, where she welcomed her first child — a daughter named Izzabella Daisy Garcia — less than 15 minutes after arriving, according to theReview-Journal. Her boyfriend Jonny Landon was there to experience the birth, as well.
“We were having a little trouble figuring out a middle name,” Celis said. “And then, because of this situation, we actually did like the ring of ‘Daisy.’ It fit perfectly.”

In addition to her special middle name, Izzabella has earned the nickname “Z” in honor of Zedd.
“That’s technically where she went into labor,” Garcia told KSNV.
“What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” the new mom added, “but not [my] daughter, she’s coming with us.”
Zedd even offered his congratulations to the new parents. The DJtook to Twitterafter his set to see if he could find the woman so he could “reach out” to her.
“I heard someone gave birth at the stage DURING MY SHOW 🤯,” Zedd tweeted, to whichCelis responded, “It was me 😅😭.”
“CONGRATS!!!!!”Zedd wrote back. “So happy you’re both healthy and that I had the honor to be the soundtrack.”
Celis said she and her boyfriend were “speechless” after connecting with Zedd, according to theReview-Journal.
“I didn’t expect it to blow up like that,” Celis told KSNV.
“I love the rave community,” Celis told theReview-Journal. “It’s just crazy that this happened in one of my comfort places.”
