The first episode of Meghan Markle’s eagerly-awaited podcast Confessions of a Female Founder has finally dropped – and in it the Duchess of Sussex talks about a health battle
Meghan Markle’s new podcast has finally dropped – with the Duchess of Sussex opening up about a scary health battle after giving birth.
The first episode of Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan’s new series, has been released today, with the founder of the dating app Bumble joining the Duchess to talk about her experience of being a female business founder. The launch of the podcast comes just days after Meghan launched her As Ever brand where all of the products sold out within minutes.
While chatting to Whitney, Meghan talked about her experiences of being a mum and reveals she suffered from postpartum preeclampsia. She explains: “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. It’s so rare and so scary.
“And you’re still trying to juggle all of these things, and the world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly. And in the quiet, you’re still trying to show up for people – mostly for your children — but those things are huge medical scares.” Whitney replied: “I mean life or death, truly.” Postpartum preeclampsia is a rare condition that causes high blood pressure after birth. If left untreated, it can cause seizures or other complications.
