Meghan Markle Reveals Postpartum Health Struggles On Her New Podcast

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, shared a personal health revelation in the first episode of her newly launched podcast.

During the episode of her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, Markle sat down with Whitney Wolfe Herd, who is the founder of the Bumble dating app and a mother of two, to discuss their shared experiences with postpartum health struggles, which included postpartum preeclampsia.

We both went through something very similar, even though we didnt know each other at the time, Markle said. We both had postpartum preeclampsia. Its so rare and so scary.

Postpartum preeclampsia is a rare and serious condition which is marked by high blood pressure and elevated protein levels in the urine. This can occur shortly after childbirth.

You're trying to juggle everything, Markle continued.
