In a personal essay for Elle, Serena Williams opened up about almost losing her life while giving birth to her daughter Olympia in September 2017.
"I was nervous about meeting my baby," she said."Throughout, I'd never felt a connection with her. While I loved being pregnant, I didn't have that amazing 'Oh my God, this is my baby' moment, ever. It's something people don't usually talk about, because we're supposed to be in love from the first second.
when the baby's heart rate kept dropping, the new mom also had to demand that she be given additional medical attention after her stitches were reopened due to an uncontrollable cough that started after she gave birth.
