Gal Gadot reveals she underwent emergency surgery for brain clot during her 4th pregnancy

Gal Gadot recently became candid about her experience of surviving a “massive blood clot” in her brain during her last pregnancy.

In a Sunday Instagram post, Gadot shared that she was eight months pregnant when she was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. 

Shortly after giving birth to her fourth child, she underwent emergency surgery to treat the condition.

Gadot revealed that back in February, she dealt with “excruciating headaches” for weeks, which kept her bedridden. It wasn’t until an MRI that the serious cause was uncovered.

She wrote, “In one moment, my family and I were faced with how fragile life can be. It was a stark reminder of how quickly everything can change, and in the midst of a difficult year, all I wanted was to hold on and live.”

“We rushed to the hospital, and within hours, I underwent emergency surgery. My daughter, Ori, was born during that moment of uncertainty and fear.”

Gadot shared that her daughter’s name means “my light,” and before the surgery, she told her husband that their baby would be the “light at the end of the tunnel.”

She also expressed gratitude to the medical team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, saying their care helped her pull through and start her recovery journey.

The Fast & Furious star further explained that she shared her experience to encourage her followers to pay attention to their bodies and raise awareness about taking action when something feels wrong.

She went on, “As we celebrate Hanukkah, a holiday of light and miracles, I reflect on the personal miracle I was granted. My daughter, Ori, is a constant reminder of resilience, hope, and the strength we carry within.”

“My wish is that we all find our light, experience our own miracles, and continue to advocate for our health and for one another.”

Gadot and her husband, Jaron Varsano, are proud parents to four daughters.

While Gadot announced Ori’s birth in March, she didn’t reveal at the time that she had been dealing with a serious blood clot during her pregnancy.,

She posted, “My sweet girl, welcome.”

“The pregnancy was not easy and we made it through,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“You have brought so much light into our lives, living up to your name, Ori, which means ‘my light’ in Hebrew. Our hearts are full of gratitude.”
