Alexis Ohania, Serena Williams’ husband has revealed it wasn’t
easy for them before and after having their daughter, Olympia. The Reddit
co-founder shared a photo from Williams’ Vogue photo shoot on Instagram Thursday with their
4-month-old daughter and disclosed in the caption that he almost lost both
mother and daughter.
Williams revealed to Vogue that her
plummeting heart rate reached dangerously low levels during contractions,
leading to an emergency cesarean section.
"This one is going on the desk at work. I can't imagine life
without these two. This ordeal, as well as the weeks and months after, has made
me an even bigger advocate for paid parental leave (not just for my
employees--men & women alike--but for all). We're blessed in a lot of ways
and I couldn't imagine a new parent going through all of that without all the
support, financial security, and flexibility we had," he wrote.
