Meghan Markle opens up about 'huge medical scare' after giving birth

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex speaks onstage.

Meghan Markle's new podcast has landed. The first episode of Confessions of a Female Founder features special guest Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of dating app Bumble. It includes loads of amazing insights into entrepreneurship, but also into Meghan's own life. At one point, the conversation turned to the two women's experiences of pregnancy, and the health complications they both had after giving birth.

"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," Meghan told Whitney on the show. The Duchess of Sussex didn't reveal whether she suffered with the condition after she gave birth to Prince Archie, 5, or Princess Lilibet, 3, or both. Whitney, as for her, has welcomed two children, Bobby, who was born in 2019, and Henry, born in 2022.
