Serena Williams was approximately eight weeks pregnant with her first child, daughter Olympia Ohanian, during the 2017 Australian Open.

A couple of years later, Williams recounted her personal journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood in an essay titled "How Serena Williams Saved Her Own Life," for ELLE magazine. The former World No. 1 courageously delved into the obstacles she encountered throughout her pregnancy and the demanding experience of giving birth.

The essay shed light on the substantial disparities in maternal mortality rates among black women. Numerous studies have consistently shown that black women face a threefold higher risk of maternal mortality compared to white women after giving birth.

In her essay, Serena Williams revealed the harrowing experience she endured due to the negligent treatment she received from medical professionals. Her pregnancy and childbirth were not without complications. In fact, her childbirth ordeal nearly cost her life.

The former World No. 1 opened up about her terrifying experience, highlighting the fact that her concerns were not adequately addressed by medical professionals. As a result, she had to undergo four surgeries following the birth of her first daughter.

"I spoke to the nurse. I told her: 'I need to have a CAT scan of my lungs bilaterally, and then I need to be on my heparin drip.' She said, 'I think all this medicine is making you talk crazy.' I said, 'No, I’m telling you what I need: I need the scan immediately,' " she wrote.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion also emphasized the importance of being heard and treated appropriately in such situations.

“Being heard and appropriately treated was the difference between life or death for me,” Williams said.
