Tragic reports have confirmed the death of a 30-year-old Melbourne-based food and wellness influencer who ran the brand Natural Spoonfuls from 2019 and had a strong following on social media.

She reportedly gave birth at home to her first child who was a son named Axel. However, shortly after her successful delivery, she experienced an unforeseen and very rare complication.

Stacey was rushed to the hospita,l where doctors tried to save her, but sadly, she passed away. Her husband shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram and described his wife as the light of his world.

Nathan and Stacey loved preparing for motherhood and had told their son, ‘I love you!’ during her pregnancy. She held and nursed Axel just briefly after his birth, sources shared.

A GoFundMe was shared to support Nathan and baby Axel and help with funeral costs, household duties, and the transition to live without Stacey. The incident is raising more awareness on home births and the great risks that they come with, including post-birth complications.

Stacey had just become a mother, but her happiness was short-lived, sources concluded. The exact cause of her death is yet to be shared publicly.
