The year 2017 was a period full of ups and downs for Serena Williams. The American tennis legend welcomed her first daughter, Olympia later that year. However, it was a difficult pregnancy, with Serena nearly escaping death during delivery. Subsequently, she went on to fulfill her motherhood duties. During that time, she shared a unique breastfeeding story. After recently welcoming her second child, she has experienced it again, albeit in a far less complicated manner.

Serena suffered from blood clots after giving birth to Olympia. As a result, she was advised against breastfeeding her child for a longer period.
