Allyson Felix learned about her pregnancy in June 2018. However, she kept it a secret as she was scared to lose her sponsorship deals. Felix faced her biggest pregnancy challenge when she learned about suffering from a severe case of preeclampsia, a high blood pressure disorder in pregnant women.

In an interview with Time, she revealed her reaction to learning about her condition.

"At that point, I did not even know what that meant. I’m a professional athlete, well-educated. I felt like had excellent medical care and so to be sitting there in the hospital and realizing that something is really wrong was terrifying to me," she said.

On learning about her condition during a routine check, Felix’s doctor sent her for an emergency C-section surgery to avoid further complications. She gave birth to her daughter just 10 weeks after her baby shower.

Post delivery, Felix spent days in the hospital recovering from high blood pressure whereas her daughter fought her own battle for about a month in the NICU.

Allyson Felix went on to explain how grateful she felt for overcoming the tough phase of her pregnancy.

"I feel so grateful because my eyes were just open. There are so many mothers who don’t survive to raise their children. It was a personal experience," she added.
