"Honestly, sometimes I still think I have to deal with it," Williams said. "I think people need to talk about it more because it's almost like the fourth trimester, it's part of the pregnancy. I remember one day, I couldn't find Olympia's bottle and I got so upset I started crying ... because I wanted to be perfect for her."
The 23-time Grand Slam champion, 36, gave birth to her daughter via emergency cesarean section. Shortly after, Williams also suffered from a pulmonary embolism, she told Vogue magazine in January.
Williams said that through it all, she believes she has been a good mother to her baby girl.
“I hope I am, and I’m going to strive to be the best mom I can be,” Williams said.
