Claire Chadwick, a 40-year-old British woman, died in Nigeria after developing sepsis.
Her unborn baby also died.
Chadwick was 37 weeks pregnant with a baby girl, and she and her husband Ibrahim were expecting the child.
The baby died in the womb first, and Chadwick later died from septic shock.
Chadwick had moved from the United Kingdom to Nigeria to start a new life with her husband.
She had also built a large online following.
It was reported that she often shared videos with Ibrahim about their relationship, their faith and food challenges.
After the tragedy, her family started a GoFundMe campaign to raise £10,000.
The money will be used to bring her body and her daughter's body back to the UK for burial.
Her sister Shannon said the family wants both of them brought home so they can be laid to rest with dignity, close to their loved ones.
She described Chadwick as a strong-minded woman who lived life on her own terms and left a lasting mark on everyone she met.
