Hailey Okula, an influencer known as Nurse Hailey to her 440,000 followers on Instagram.
On 2nd April,2025 ,she died due to complications from childbirth, her husband, Los Angeles firefighter Matt Okula, announced on social media on Tuesday.
In an interview with FOX 11 Los Angeles, Matthew Okula said Hailey, an ER nurse known on Instagram as Nurse Hailey, gave birth via C-section on Saturday. Shortly afterward, he said a doctor informed him they were doing CPR on her.

• Matt Okula’s Statement-
  She went into cardiac arrest and the doctors say it was from a very, very rare complication known as amniotic fluid embolism,” Okula said.

The LAFD firefighter was visibly emotional as he recalled losing his wife, saying, “She gave her life in the most noble way.”

“She was able to see him for a split second, and I’m always going to remember that,” he said about Hailey and their son, Crew.

        On Friday, Matthew continued to honor the memory of his late wife, sharing some “raw, unedited” videos from their wedding on Hailey's Instagram story. The videos included their first dance and footage of them dancing with loved ones.

• Nursing history-
  Hailey founded RN New Grads in 2019 to support new nurses by providing information on how to launch their careers. The nurse also shared about how she and her husband struggled with fertility before getting pregnant with their first child on their social media accounts.
• What is amniotic fluid metabolism?
  An amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an anaphylactic reaction that happens when the fluid inside the uterus gets into the bloodstream of a pregnant person before, during or after childbirth, according to Dr. Erin Higgins, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospitals.

“The body sees this as, like, kind of as an intruder, you know, just like any infection,” Higgins told NBC News. “But, it can lead to cardiopulmonary collapse, so the blood pressure goes down, the heart rate doesn’t respond appropriately, and patients become short of breath.”

Higgins said AFE commonly causes cardiac arrest and hypotension and can lead to heavy bleeding, heart failure, kidney damage, and liver damage.
Doctor say,the condition is extremely rare, occurring two to six times in 100,000 deliveries, and the cause is unknown.
• Research work-
AFE is also very hard to diagnose before it happens, and a patient’s condition can worsen very quickly once symptoms kick in, Higgins said. There’s also “general agreement among the experts that no recognizable risk factors for AFE exist.”
Although it was not possible to save her , but the struggle she did is definitely not easy.

I’m making the decision — am I going to the ICU with my wife, or am I staying to wait for my newborn little baby,” he said. “Not the decision we thought I would be making.” -Matt words

On Instagram, Matthew said his wife’s love for their baby “was limitless, long before he entered this world.”

“She would have been the most amazing mom,” he wrote. “Her spirit, courage, and love will live on in our son, and through everyone whose lives she touched.”
