“Instead of having a baby, I came home with a box of memories… I don’t want this to happen to anyone. The weekly check-up has become a nightmare I never had. Now imagine what will happen to me.

During semi-sunset: The Reunion, the host of New Fa turned to Maya and asked how she was.

“We got the autopsy report about a month ago. It was just a bad accident with the rope, mixed with some swallowed placenta.”

Maya continued: “But I’m doing much better, and I have my husband, he’s amazing, my kids are great and they’ve always kept me going.
