A MATERNITY influencer has tragically died just days after emergency surgery.
Social media star Taina Madeiros, who had more than 70,000 followers on Instagram, died on Wednesday. She was 34.
An official cause of death has not been given but her friends reportedly said she had an ectopic pregnancy last week.
She had asked her fans to pray for her recovery in a recent post.
A ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg plants itself outside the womb, typically in one of the fallopian tubes.
If an egg gets stuck in one of the tubes, the pregnancy isn’t possible and it has to be removed during an operation.
Taina was a trained nurse who gave advice on breastfeeding.
Sadly, she leaves behind a husband and five-year-old daughter.
