Duchess Meghan openly discusses complexities experienced following childbirth - Duchess Meghan discloses post-delivery health issues
Famous Duchess Meghan, 43, recently shared her trip through the health hurdles that followed the birth of one of her children on her novel podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder". The Duchess was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia, a condition known to develop during pregnancy and post-delivery, as disclosed in her conversation. This condition, often characterized by high blood pressure, might also result in dangerous complications.
As disclosed by German health insurer, Barmer, preeclampsia's typical features include high blood pressure, often beyond 140/90 mmHg. Symptoms can range from severe headaches, vision problems, and stomach pain to swelling of the body parts like feet, ankles, face, and hands. More critically, it may lead to seizures, strokes, blood clots, fluid accumulation in the lungs, or a severe form of the condition called HELLP Syndrome.
"It's utterly terrifying," Duchess Meghan admitted. "You're simply grappling with everything that's happening, and the world remains oblivious to your ordeal." Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, 40, are the proud parents to Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3. The family now resides in the United States after stepping down from their royal roles.
In her podcast, Duchess Meghan will be discussing women entrepreneurs. In the inaugural episode, she conversed with Bumble dating app co-founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, who reflected on the media frenzy surrounding Archie's birth, Meghan's brave appearance, and the family's initial public outing. At the time, an overwhelmed Whitney remarked, "How in the world does this woman make it happen? She rocked heels and displayed her child in a stunning outfit to the entire world!" In contrast, Whitney herself hesitated to even meet the food delivery person.
