A mum who influenced thousands of people online with maternity advice has died after having emergency surgery. Taina Madeiros, 34, is believed last week to have had an ectopic pregnancy, which 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 went under knife this week, although she didn’t confirm on social media the nature of the procedure. She did, though, ask her 70,000 Instagram fans to “pray for my recovery” in one of her poignant final social media post. But Taina died and was laid to rest in Parnamirim, northeast Brazil, on Thursday. The nurse gave advice on breastfeeding on her social media page. One of her last Instagram posts read: “Pray for my recovery, now I need to take care of myself… But soon I will be better to take care of you, God willing.” An official cause of death has not been given but friends spoke of Taina’s ectopic pregnancy. The social media star leaves behind a husband and a five-year-old daughter. Fans paid their respects to Taina and offered their thoughts to her husband. One commented: “Last week I asked you: ‘do you have any idea how many families you’ve helped?’ And you said: ‘I’ve lost count, but it’s well over 2,000’! Another post online reads: “Your heart wasn’t in the numbers but in the dedication! We were witness to that love and dedication! You came into this world to make a difference, Tai! And you did! We will remember you as a blessing!” A family member had posted “God has called our Tai home. Wife, mother, daughter, friend, entrepreneur. A woman full of faith, eternal values, and boundless kindness. “She touched the lives of many, seeing beyond with eyes that reflected the beauty of the sea and exuded compassion. We are left with the best memories: her bright smile, warm embrace, and her legacy of love.”
