Meghan Markle revealed she was fighting for her life after she gave birth to one of her children.

The Duchess of Sussex made the vulnerable medical confession during the first episode of her new podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder." Her first guest was the founder of the dating app Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Herd.

"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," Markle shared on her podcast. "It’s so rare and so scary."

Postpartum preeclampsia is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a woman has high blood pressure and has excess protein in her urine soon after childbirth, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Markle did not specify if the health scare occurred after the birth of her son, Prince Archie, 5, or daughter Princess Lilibet, 3, both of whom she shares with Prince Harry.

The As Ever founder also described how difficult it was to navigate her public responsibilities as she battled her condition.

"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."
