Serena Williams revealed that she had to undergo an emergency caesarean section and had complications giving birth to her baby Alexis Olympia, now four months old.

The professional tennis player, who had a good pregnancy, explained to Vogue magazine that she suffered complications in the delivery process. What happened? During contractions, her heart rate dropped to levels she described as dangerous. This caused him to undergo an emergency caesarean section. The caesarean section went well according to what he said.

However, the athlete explained to Vogue that she then had to battle for six days with a pulmonary embolism. In addition, she had other complications. However, Williams said holding her daughter in her arms was "an amazing feeling." However, she confessed to Vogue that after that: "everything went wrong."

Vogue's note, which is reproduced by People, indicates that the day after the delivery, her health problems began. Williams felt short of breath. The tennis player had suffered from blood clots in the past. Being a C-section, they couldn't prescribe blood-thinning medications. She asked a nurse to perform a contrast CT scan and other studies. Finally they heard her.

When the tests were done, he had small clots in his lungs. Due to the cough caused by the pulmonary embolism, from the effort, the caesarean section was opened and he had to return to the operating room. Upon opening they found a large bruise flooding her abdomen. So, to prevent more clots, doctors operate on her a third time to put a filter on one of her veins, Williams told Vogue. A week later she returned home. Although she was in bed for six weeks.
