“So much of what happened after that is still a blur,” writes Serena Williams in Elle’s adaption from Arrival Stories: Women Share Their Experiences of Becoming Mothers. In the essay, Serena, 40, recalled the complications — and multiple surgeries — that followed the birth of her and husband Alexis Ohanian’s daughter, Olympia. “My husband left—to get food and shower back at the house—and this started a trend in which every time he’d try to leave, I’d wind up back in the operating room,” writes the tennis icon.
“I had to get a second surgery, and before he could get home, he had to come right back. When I woke up from that surgery, in the hospital room with my parents and my in-laws, I felt like I was dying. They were trying to talk to me, and all I could think was, ‘I’m dying, I’m dying. Oh my God.’ I really thought I would faint,” writes Serena. “I got up somehow, and I went into the other room because I didn’t want my mom to worry. I didn’t want her to hear me; she’s the world’s biggest worrier.”
At first, Serena hoped to give birth to Olympia vaginally, since it was her first child. However, the doctors determined that the sports legend needed a C-Section, which Serena agreed to. (“I thought to myself, ‘I’ve had so many surgeries, what’s another one?’”). Afterward, Serena tore her stitches after coughing too hard. “Little did I realize that this would be the first of many surgeries,” she writes. “I wasn’t coughing for nothing; I was coughing because I had an embolism, a clot in one of my arteries.” During four surgeries, Serena’s doctors would find a hematoma – a collection of blood outside the blood vessels – in her abdomen.
