NY Post
Meghan Markle has opened up about her “scary” experience with postpartum preeclampsia in the first episode of her new podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder.”
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, made the candid health revelation during a conversation with her friend and Bumble dating app founder Whitney Wolfe Herd.
During the first 50-minute episode, released Tuesday, Markle detailed the health struggle she endured during her pregnancy.
The “Suits” alum, who shares son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet with husband Prince Harry, said dealing with the health condition was “so scary” while having to navigate public responsibilities.
“We both had very similar experiences though we didn’t know each other at the time with postpartum, and we both had preeclampsia. Postpartum preeclampsia,” Markle revealed. “It’s so rare and so scary.”
The duo, who have been friends for years, discussed the serious condition that’s responsible for over 70,000 maternal deaths and 500,000 fetal deaths around the world each year.
