Stacey Hatfield, Australian Food Influencer, Dies Of A Rare Pregnancy Complication

While most pregnancies normally and do not have any serious complications, notes Johns Hopkins Medicine, sometimes rare complications can occur and it can then interfere with normal fetal development. In such a case, Australian nutritionist and social media influencer <span>Stacey Hatfield</span> tragically passed away. Her husband described it as an “extremely rare complication” during childbirth. The 30-year-old Melbourne native was known for promoting toxin-free living and wholesome recipes under the handle @naturalspoonfuls, where she had more than 17,000 followers.

Hatfield’s <span>pregnancy</span> had been filled with joy and anticipation. She and her husband, Nathan Warnecke, were just two months away from celebrating their first wedding anniversary when she went into labour at home on September 29.

She gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Axel, fulfilling what Warnecke said was her “biggest dream in life — to be a mum.” But moments after delivering her son, the “unimaginable” occurred.

According to Warnecke, Hatfield developed an “unforeseen and extremely rare complication” immediately after childbirth. She was rushed to the hospital, where medical staff did everything they could to save her life.

“Hospital staff were amazing and did the utmost to help, but ultimately nothing could be done despite their best efforts,” Warnecke said in a social media post announcing her passing. “Words can’t do justice to how devastating this is for myself and everyone that knew and loved her.”

He shared that Hatfield’s final moments were filled with love and happiness as she held her newborn son in her arms. “She held Axel when he was born, nursed him, saw that he was a boy, and loved him,” he wrote. “She loved him so much and still continues to love him.”

<h2>Remembering a “Lighthouse in the Storm”</h2>

Warnecke, who called Stacey his “beautiful wife, soulmate, and best friend,” said her passing has left a void that words cannot fill. “I knew Stace for nine amazing years — she was the light of my life and the reason I got up in the morning,” he said. “She was my lighthouse in the storm, and the world is less bright without her in it.”

He described her as “the most beautiful, loving, caring, hardworking, disciplined, intelligent, and trustworthy human being” he had ever known.

<h2>Community Support for the Family</h2>

In the wake of the tragedy, family, friends, and the wider community have come together to support Warnecke and baby Axel. A GoFundMe page has raised more than $20,000 to help cover funeral expenses, childcare, and household costs as the grieving family adjusts to life without Stacey.
