<p>Tennis champion Serena Williams welcomed her first child, a baby girl, with fiancé Alexis Ohanian on Friday. Williams reportedly gave birth in West Palm Beach, Florida.<br />
<a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/873782/serena-williams-gives-birth-to-first-child">E! News</a> was one of the first news outlets to announce the arrival of Serena&#8217;s baby as did <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/serena-williams-gives-birth-welcomes-first-child-with-alexis-ohanian-w492788">Us Weekly.<br />
</a>TV journalist Chris Shepard<a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisShepherd/status/903693454538104834"> tweeted</a>, “Tennis star Serena Williams gives birth to a baby girl weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces. Mom and baby doing well.”<br />
Prior to their daughter’s arrival, the couple insisted they didn’t know the sex.<br />
However, the baby&#8217;s aunt, Venus at this Wimbledon, referred to the unborn child as “she” and “her.”<br />
Williams’ fiancé, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, revealed early August that he thinks they’re expecting a girl: “We have our hunches. She put it really well — she won the Australian Open while pregnant, and she remarked that she feels like it <em>has</em> to be a girl because everything that little baby went through and handled like a champ, only a woman could be strong enough to take on,” Ohanian said.<br />
“If anything, it’s really just reinforced how amazing and strong and powerful and awesome women are.”</p>

<h6><strong>Serena Williams rocks pregnancy</strong></h6>
<p>Williams, 35, previously said that despite “not being a baby person,” giving birth would make her feel like a “real woman.”<br />
“I have so much respect for so many women,” Williams said. “I am about to be a real woman now, you know? It’s going to be something incredibly impressive to go through.”<br />
Still, she planned to go through it with a little help:</p>

<div>Williams said that she’d likely use an epidural to get through labor.<br />
“I’m nervous about childbirth,” she <a href="http://pagesix.com/2017/08/15/serena-williams-doesnt-think-shes-a-baby-person/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Vogue</a>. “I’m not a spring chicken. The one thing I really want is an epidural, which I know a lot of people are against, but I’ve had surgeries galore, and I don’t need to experience any more pain if I can avoid it.”<br />
Williams accidentally revealed her pregnancy to the world in April, when she posted a photo of her 20-week bump to Snapchat. Ever the professional, she didn’t slow down her workouts while she was expecting and she has promised to get back on the tennis courts by 2018.<br />
“My baby is going to be in the stands,” she told Gayle King in April, “hopefully cheering for me and not crying too much.”</div>
