Alexa Bliss has revealed that she dealt with undiagnosed preeclampsia during her pregnancy, a complication that doctors did not catch until after she gave birth to her daughter. The WWE star shared the details of her health scare while appearing on Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story?” podcast.
According to Bliss, her blood pressure rose during the pregnancy, but her medical team did not flag it as a concern at the time. It was only three days after giving birth that the severity of the situation became clear, when she began experiencing swelling and difficulty breathing. Those symptoms led to her being admitted to the hospital as doctors worked to address the postpartum complications tied to the previously undiagnosed condition.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related condition marked by high blood pressure that can pose serious risks to both mother and baby if it goes unrecognized or untreated. Bliss’s account highlights how the condition can persist and escalate even after delivery, catching patients and medical staff off guard when warning signs are not identified beforehand.
Bliss shared her story in detail on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, walking listeners through the progression from her pregnancy, when the elevated blood pressure first appeared without being properly diagnosed, to the postpartum period, when the physical toll became unmistakable. Her decision to speak publicly about the experience sheds light on a condition that can be difficult to detect and that carries real health consequences if missed.
The interview comes as Bliss continues to share aspects of her personal life with fans following the birth of her daughter. Her willingness to discuss the undiagnosed preeclampsia and the hospitalization that followed offers a candid look at a side of her life away from the ring, and underscores the seriousness of a condition that is not always caught in time by routine prenatal care.
No further details regarding Bliss’s current health status or any additional medical information beyond what she shared on the podcast have been made available.
