Williams was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, which her mother converted to in the early 80s. "I was always obedient: Whatever my parents told me to do, I did. That's straight from the Bible, and she wrote it down on paper and gave it to me," she said. "Obedience brings protection that's what my mom told me. However, Williams' tennis coach mother, Oracene Price, comforted her daughter with the Bible. "Or I'll get angry about the crying, then sad about being angry, and then guilty, like, Why do I feel so sad when I have a beautiful baby? The emotions are insane." "I've broken down I don't know how many times," she said. Williams went on to detail the rollercoaster of emotions that she has experienced as a mother. No one talks about the low moments-the pressure you feel, the incredible letdown every time you hear the baby cry." It's that same negative attitude I have on the court sometimes," she told Vogue in a transparent interview. "Sometimes I get really down and feel like, man, I can't do this. As if the health complications were not enough to deal with, Williams admitted to struggling with the emotional toll of new motherhood when she returned home to her new baby and soon-to-be husband who she married last November. Shortly after, doctors found blood clots in her abdomen that also required surgery. Soon after giving birth she discovered blood clots in her lungs which required a procedure. Williams has had a history of dealing with blood clots, but stopped taking her blood thinning medication to heal from her C-section wounds. After giving birth to Alexis Olympia, who she shares with her husband, Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, Williams suffered from blood clots in her lungs and abdomen. In an interview with Vogue magazine that appeared online Wednesday, the 36-year-old tennis champion revealed that she had to undergo multiple surgeries after her C-section last September. Serena Williams says her mother encouraged her with Scripture when the tennis star suffered from physical and emotional struggles following her pregnancy.
