Meghan Markle has revealed a ‘scary’ health issue she experienced after giving birth, during the debut episode of her brand-new podcast.

On April 8, the Duchess of Sussex launched Confessions Of A Female Founder, where she unexpectedly opened up about a post-pregnancy health scare.

This new podcast is part of a wave of recent projects from the mother of two, which also includes her Netflix series With Love, Meghan and her lifestyle brand As Ever.

In the first episode, Meghan sits down with Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of the dating app Bumble, to discuss the struggles of being a CEO and the path she took to reach success.

The two connected over a shared health struggle they had both faced after giving birth—an experience Meghan described as a particularly “scary” period in her life.

“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 shared.

She added: “It’s so rare and so scary.”

The 43-year-old opened up about managing a serious health condition while continuing to live under the public spotlight.

She shared: “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.”
