Stacey Warnecke declined routine pregnancy care influenced by COVID-19 concerns before dying from postpartum haemorrhage; hospital blood supply was fully used trying to save her.
- On September 29, Stacey Warnecke, 30, died from severe blood loss after a free home birth at her Melbourne home, with her newborn son delivered healthy; she was rushed to Frankston Hospital but could not be saved.
- Concern about COVID-19 mandates influenced her birth choices, counsel assisting said, as Warnecke declined ultrasounds and appointments and contacted Emily Lal, a free-birth "keeper" on social media.
- Paramedics found Warnecke unresponsive near the birthing pool, looking yellow and struggling to breathe, while doctors' attempts to save her exhausted the hospital blood supply of Warnecke's blood type.
- The coroner will seek statements from Emily Lal and paramedics, doctors and nurses who treated Warnecke, counsel assisting said, with the case returning to the Victorian Coroners Court in March.
- Her public profile and beliefs about the health system will be a focus at the upcoming inquest, examining Warnecke as a qualified nutritionist who promoted a "chemical-free" lifestyle on social media and her pandemic-era attitudes.
