Mellodie-Ocean Jarman, 19, experienced complications during her pregnancy and passed away after giving birth to her daughter, Athena-Pearl, via emergency C-section. Athena-Pearl sadly died hours later.
A 'healthy' pregnant first-time mum and her newborn baby tragically died just hours apart. Mellodie-Ocean Jarman, 19, reported feeling faint and dizzy while on her way to a routine pregnancy scan on January 31.
There, in the early hours of Sunday an emergency C-section was carried out, and Mellodie gave birth to Athena-Pearl seven weeks premature. However, around an hour after the surgery, Mellodie died and the devastated family was then told that little Athena-Pearl wouldn't survive either. "Then it was planned for Athena to be placed on a portable machine so she can walk down and transfer to the mortuary, where she was placed in Mellodie's arms and her life support was switched off."
Now, the family faces having to pay steep funeral costs with a GoFundMe page set up. Steven said on the page about the death of the mum and child: "After what felt like an eternity of anguish, we were given the gut-wrenching gift of placing Mellodie's daughter in her arms as the machines fell silent.
