"Resuscitated at home for 40 minutes." What is known about the 32-year-old blogger from Cherykaw who died after being discharged from the maternity hospital
Recently, a portrait tied with a black ribbon appeared on the TikTok account of 32-year-old blogger Anastasiya Marozava. At first, subscribers—of whom she has around 230,000—thought that the account had been hacked.
Some wrote that Asya had a new page, that she had recently given birth to a baby girl and had been discharged from the maternity hospital a couple of days ago—"and everything is fine with her." Others insisted that Anastasiya had died: "A blood clot broke loose, and this, unfortunately, is true." Onliner spoke with Anastasiya's mother and best friend about what happened. Details are in the article.
"I hug every one of you who had a C-section, girls"
Anastasiya Marozava was 32 years old. She lived in the small town of Cherykaw in the Mogilev Region. Before her first maternity leave, she worked as a salesclerk, and after the emergence of TikTok, she began keeping a blog about her life and filming short videos.
In one of the videos published on October 22, the woman spoke about a "difficult delivery": according to her, "nine hours of contractions ended in an emergency cesarean section and resuscitation." "I hug every one of you who had a C-section, girls," the blogger wrote.
On that day, a second daughter, Miraslava, was born into Anastasiya's family.
On November 6, Anastasiya was discharged from the maternity hospital along with her newborn daughter. On the blogger's page, there is a short video showing her leaving the maternity hospital with her husband. Three days later, she was gone.
— Nastya was receiving prenatal care in Cherykaw, but she was sent to Minsk, to the Mother and Child Republican Scientific and Practical Center, to give birth, — Anastasiya's mother, Gayane, told Onliner.
— Why?
— There were medical indications. But I would not like to go into the details right now.
— Tell us what happened on Monday, November 9.
— Nastya was still on her feet and conscious at eight in the evening, but by 9:20 p.m. she had already lost consciousness several times, — recalls Gayane. — Her elder daughter, who is 12 years old, was home with her. Having learned about what happened, her husband arrived first, then her brother. Two to three minutes after them, the ambulance arrived.
— Did Anastasiya complain about anything before that?
— About nothing. As they say, nothing foreshadowed tragedy... When the ambulance arrived, Nastya was still conscious, but she was no longer saying anything. Resuscitation was carried out right in our home; they performed CPR on her for about 40 minutes, but were unable to save her.
Anastasiya's body was sent to Krychaw for an autopsy. According to her mother, forensic medical examiners came there from Mogilev.
— We just came out of the Investigative Committee, where we gave testimony (the conversation took place on Thursday evening). I want to know the truth: why is my child now lying in the ground?
— What do you think could have happened?
— The forensic examination will only be ready in a month—that is when the exact causes will become known. I have not spoken with the doctors from Minsk yet. What was written about a detached blood clot was made up by someone. For now, nothing is clear.
"We were discussing how we would baptize the baby"
A few hours before the tragedy, Nastya managed to talk to her best friend Katya. The women had been friends for eight years.
— Even though I am from Russia, we were in touch 24/7 while she was in the hospital. On Monday, we also spoke on the phone and said goodbye around five in the evening. Asya (as her friend called her) was happy, smiling. We were making plans, discussing how we would baptize Miraslava. I was asked to become her godmother...
— Did she tell you how the delivery went?
— Yes. She said she was sent to "Mother and Child" because they were afraid for the baby. I wouldn't want to disclose the details. Asya said that the doctors offered to do a C-section on October 20, but she refused. She wanted to give birth naturally, just like with her first child. She said: "Let's wait until my water breaks." It broke on October 22, her blood pressure spiked, and she lay in labor with contractions for nine hours (in the video, Anastasiya also mentioned this time interval and chain of events, with the exception of the episode with high blood pressure). After that, they performed a C-section on her.
— How did you learn about Nastya's death?
— Her mother Gayane told me. They were talking on the phone when Asya began to feel ill, and her mother called an ambulance. While it was on its way, her husband and brother rushed home. But they could not save Nastya.
— Do you have an opinion on what could have happened?
— She was discharged on Friday, and three days later she died. But something like that doesn't just happen out of nowhere...
A farewell to Anastasiya was held on Wednesday, November 11. According to her friend, several hundred people attended the young woman's funeral. Some came to Cherykaw even from other cities. Now Anastasiya's loved ones are taking care of her newborn daughter.
