Mourning for influencer - 23-year-old Tiktok woman dies giving birth to her first child
Tatjana Klingler was full of anticipation. Just like every mother, who is about to hold her baby for the first time. But then everything turned out differently. The 23-year-old TikToker, also known as Tati, died during the birth of her son over the weekend. Her son survived but is reportedly in an artificially induced coma.
Relatives have set up a fundraiser for the little Joshua and have shared further details of the terrifying birth there. According to this, Tatjana Klingler died from a rupture of membranes. During this life-threatening complication, amniotic fluid enters the mother's bloodstream. This can lead to heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, and low blood pressure. The breathing may stop and the heart may stop beating. According to "Doctors' Quarterly," out of 100,000 births, two to eight women experience a rupture of membranes, with an mortality rate of 11 to 44 percent, making it a leading cause of maternal deaths.
During the birth of her son, she suffered a cardiac arrest
A rupture of membranes is therefore a very rare complication during childbirth, but it can lead to a sudden cardiac arrest. Tatjana Klingler suffered a cardiac arrest during the birth, as stated in the fundraiser. "Tati was successfully resuscitated, but she did not regain consciousness and lost the fight a few hours later," the relatives write.
Joshua was transported to another clinic in an intensive care ambulance and put into an artificially induced coma, it continues. At the current moment, no one knows "if Joshua belongs to the 61 percent of children who suffer serious neurological damage after a rupture of membranes or to the 39 percent who come away with a blue eye," the relatives share.
Tatjana Klingler had almost 14,000 followers on TikTok. With them, she shared her pregnancy and preparation for the birth. Now, her husband Thorsten Klingler is left behind as a single father, who until now does not even know if his child survived.
Despite her extensive TikTok following and sharing her pregnancy journey, Tatjana Klingler tragically passed away due to a cardiac arrest during the birth of her son. The rupture of membranes, a rare yet dangerous complication during childbirth, led to this unfortunate incident.
