Serena Williams dealt with serious health issues after giving birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., in September, she revealed in a Vogue profile.
Williams and Olympia are featured on the cover of Vogue’s February issue. In the accompanying story, Williams details the series of complications after Olympia was delivered by emergency C-section on Sept. 1.
The next day, while recovering in the hospital, Serena suddenly felt short of breath. Because of her history of blood clots, and because she was off her daily anticoagulant regimen due to the recent surgery, she immediately assumed she was having another pulmonary embolism.
