Serena Williams Revealed that She Had to Undergo Emergency Surgery to Save Her Daughter - Alexis Olympia, And Underwent Multiple Surgeries Thereafter when Blood Clots Appeared in Her Lungs

It all began when Olympia's heartbeat decreased, prompting doctors to perform emergency surgery to save her.

And a day after giving birth, Serena began to experience difficulty breathing. Doctors discovered a blood clot in her lungs causing pulmonary embolism and instructed her to stop taking blood thinners. Subsequent coughing fits from the pulmonary embolism worsened her surgical incision and made things worse.

She had to insert a filter into the main vein to prevent the formation of blood clots that could damage her lungs, while being bedridden for 6 weeks.

Serena admits that being a mother is a challenge for her.

That's also why Serena completely disappeared from social media for quite some time after giving birth to Olympia Alexis.

Not until October 2017 did DailyMail capture photos of her on a date with wedding planner Preston Bailey in New Orleans. In this interview, Serena admits that being a mother is truly a challenge for her compared to competing on the court.

It is known that just after 3 weeks, the number of followers on Olympia Alexis's Instagram account has increased significantly. Olympia Alexis's Instagram account has now attracted 203,000 followers, while her father's Instagram - businessman Alexis Ohanian has 244,000. This rapid increase is also why the baby appeared on the cover of Vogue instead of her father.

Serena said she is considering whether to let her daughter pursue her passion for tennis. But above all, what she wants is for her daughter to live a normal life rather than grow up in the limelight.

Currently, Serena has plans to return to the Australian Open tennis tournament. Serena asserts that at her age, she can still see the precise pass, accelerate, and nothing can stop her from winning her 24th Grand Slam.

Serena also shares that she wants her daughter to live as normal a life as possible: “There have been many cautionary tales about children growing up in the limelight. And I'm really worried when just after 3 weeks, more people followed my daughter on Instagram than me.”
