Feb 21, 2018 – Serena Williams Almost Died As C-Section Infected Wound Opens Due To Chronic Cough Caused By Pulmonary Embolism
In a recent interview with the Cable News Network(CNN), 36-year-old Serena Williams revealed how she almost lost her life to childbirth and Cesarean section complications after birthing her daughter, Olympia.
The athlete said she battled a life threatening illness, Pulmonary Embolism that forced her to undergo several life-saving surgeries after she gave birth to her daughter by c-section.
She said her C-section wound opened up because she battled chronic cough as a result of PE (sudden blockage of major blood vessel in the lung).
Serena said during one of the surgeries, surgeons discovered a large hematoma (clotted blood vessels) in her abdomen.
Pulmonary Embolism is a fatal illness that pregnant women above 35 should be careful of.
Obese women with family history of blood clots have a higher risk of developing a clot that can cause pulmonary embolism.
Good as you survived such,thanks to God, you are privileged to be in advance world with good hospitals and doctors. If that happens to be in a shithole country,by now…that baby will be regarded as a witch who killed her mother…………..But again, despite the fact that giving birth naturally is painful,and only some can endure, there is always a great benefit in that as it helps in preventing such blood clothing.
