Stacey Warnecke, also known as Stacey Hatfield, who died after giving birth at home.
A court probing the death of a wellness influencer after a freebirth has heard that emergency care was delayed for several minutes because her "birth keeper" would only call an ambulance if she consented.
Melbourne woman Stacey Warnecke died of postpartum haemorrhage shortly after giving birth at home with only her partner, Nathan, and her doula, Emily Lal, present last September.
As well as probing the circumstances of Warnecke's death and the role Lal played during the free birth, a coronial inquest is examining the broader issue of freebirths, which take place without a medical professional present.
