Blogger Sofia Stuzhuk teaches Latvians how to circumvent the law
A few days ago, the once-famous Ukrainian blogger Sofia Stuzhuk gave birth to her fourth child. She currently lives in Latvia with her children, having fled there immediately after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
As with the previous few times, Sofia decided to give birth at home. This time, she did not even invite a midwife to assist her. The woman arrived at the blogger's place a few hours after the child was born and issued the necessary documents for registration.
As Stuzhuk explained in her blog, home births are legalised in Latvia. However, a midwife must be present. But, in order to circumvent the law, the midwife can simply fail to arrive in time for the birth. It is enough to call her late. This is exactly what the blogger had agreed upon with the woman in advance. The midwife arrived in the evening to examine Stuzhuk and issue documents for the civil registry office, even though the child had been born earlier that night.
The scheme had been planned in advance. Stuzhuk proudly revealed this to the world. She also recommended this method of circumventing the law to her readers.
One hopes that law enforcement agencies will pay attention to this scheme, as it does not comply with the law. They should also look into Stuzhuk herself and the "unhurried" midwife.
