A well-known influencer tragically passed away shortly after giving birth to her first child at home, as revealed by her grieving husband. Stacey Hatfield, who promoted a ‘low tox’ lifestyle and natural recipes to her 17,200 social media followers, founded Natural Spoonfuls due to her own health struggles.
The 30-year-old unexpectedly died on September 29th following an extremely rare complication post-home birth, where she welcomed her son. Despite being rushed to the hospital, she could not be saved. Stacey managed to spend only a brief moment holding and nursing her newborn, Axel, before her untimely demise, which her family attributes to childbirth complications.
Her husband, Nathan Warnecke, expressed his sorrow in a poignant Instagram post, highlighting Stacey’s long-held desire to become a mother. He described her passing as a devastating loss, emphasizing the happiness she experienced in her final moments.
Nathan reminisced about their beach wedding in the Maldives and cherished Stacey’s love for a simple life and nature. He shared that her ultimate dream was fulfilled by becoming a mother in her envisioned way. Friends and family have rallied around Nathan, setting up a GoFundMe page to support him as he copes with the loss and transitions into single parenthood.
The funds raised will assist with funeral expenses, baby supplies, bills, and providing Nathan with time off work. Nathan concluded his heartfelt tribute with a poignant farewell, expressing hope for a reunion in the future with his beloved Stacey.
