‘Protect Serena at All Costs’ – After Being Forced To Re-Live Past Trauma, Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Gathers Wide-Spread Support From Fans As They Make an Emotional Wish

Giving birth to Olympia was a “life or death” experience for the American tennis legend Serena Williams. She experienced numerous post-pregnancy difficulties after giving birth, including four major surgeries. The same conditions that the American tennis star encountered during the birth of her daughter occurred to US Olympian Tori Bowie last month. Unfortunately, unlike the 23-time Grand Slam champion, Bowie passed away from complications during childbirth.

And the 41-year-old tennis legend’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, who was by his wife’s side during the gruesome times, can never forget the traumatizing pregnancy battle Serena went through in 2017. When he heard about Bowie’s news, he remembered the time his wife also suffered some dangerous postnatal complications. Along with the doting husband, a lot of tennis fans also recalled Williams’ tough time, wanting to safeguard one thing during her second childbirth.

The news of her demise triggered strong reactions from fans who have previously seen similar things during the time Serena Williams gave birth to her daughter. Williams kept requesting tests from her doctors after giving birth to Olympia, but at first no one listened to her. However, after some testing, they realized that Williams’ life was indeed in danger due to a blood clot in her lungs. Her experience with a near-fatal pregnancy demonstrated the reality of medical negligence and the unequal treatment given to mothers from minority communities.
