Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has revealed her daughter had to be delivered during emergency surgery earlier this year after a “massive blood clot” was discovered in her brain. The actress, 39, said she was diagnosed with the clot during her eighth month of pregnancy after enduring “excruciating headaches” that confined her to bed.
Gadot, who announced the birth of her fourth baby girl in March, said she wanted to open up about the experience in an Instagram post on Sunday to “raise awareness and support others who may face something similar”. “In February, during my eighth month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in my brain,” she wrote alongside a photo of her cradling her daughter while in a hospital bed.
“For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth. “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.”.
The Hollywood star said she was “rushed” to hospital and within hours she underwent emergency surgery. “My daughter, Ori, was born during that moment of uncertainty and fear. Her name, meaning ‘my light’, wasn’t chosen by chance,” she said.
