Postpartum preeclampsia affects a significant number of women, with both Meghan Markle and Whitney Wolfe Herd revealing they experienced this condition. This life-threatening issue, characterized by high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine shortly after giving birth, impacts many new mothers. The exact timing of when Meghan faced this condition remains unspecified. Despite its rarity and severity, new mothers often have to manage this alongside other responsibilities. The condition is described as a medical scare that can be life or death. In addition to health challenges, Meghan discussed the pressures of public life, such as presenting her newborn to the world shortly after birth. Amidst these challenges, Meghan balances her roles as a mother and a businesswoman, highlighting the importance of perspective in managing both personal and professional life.
