Actress Gal Gadot discovered she had a large blood clot in her brain while pregnant.

In a recent revelation, actress Gal Gadot shared details of a health scare that left her feeling terrified earlier this year. The 39-year-old star, who welcomed her fourth daughter with husband Jaron Varsano in March, had kept her pregnancy a secret until sharing a photo of her cradling baby Ori in the hospital. However, Gal described the pregnancy as not being easy and now, almost a year later, she has opened up about a serious health condition she faced during her eighth month of pregnancy.

In a heartfelt statement posted on social media, Gal explained how this year has been one of immense challenges and deep reflections for her. She struggled with the decision of whether or not to share her experience with the public, but ultimately decided to follow her heart and raise awareness for others who may be going through something similar. "Perhaps this is my way of processing everything, of pulling back the curtain on the fragile reality behind the curated moments we share on social media," she wrote.

Gal revealed that she was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in her brain in February after experiencing excruciating headaches that confined her to bed. This was a terrifying realization for the actress and her family, serving as a reminder of how fragile life can be and how quickly things can change. She underwent emergency surgery and her daughter, Ori, was born during this moment of uncertainty and fear. Gal explained that her daughter's name, meaning "my light" in Hebrew, was chosen intentionally as she saw her as the light waiting for her at the end of a dark tunnel. Thanks to the dedicated care of doctors at Cedar Sinai, Gal made a full recovery and is now filled with gratitude for the second chance at life she has been given.

Through this experience, Gal learned the importance of listening to our bodies and trusting what they are telling us. She emphasized the importance of paying attention to pain, discomfort, and even subtle changes, as they can often hold deeper meaning and could potentially be lifesaving. Gal also raised awareness for a condition called CVT that affects three in 100,000 pregnant women in the age group of 30s and above. She stressed the importance of early detection as it is treatable and hoped that her story would empower others to take action for their health.

Gal's post was met with an outpouring of support and gratitude from her fans and followers. She was praised for her courage in sharing her story and many thanked her for raising awareness for a condition that is not commonly talked about. When Gal announced the arrival of her daughter Ori, she expressed how difficult her pregnancy had been and how grateful she was to have made it through. She also shared her excitement at welcoming another daughter into their family of girls, joking that her husband is "pretty cool too."

Gal's other four daughters, Alma, Maya, and Daniella, were born in 2011, 2017, and 2021 respectively. Her post ended with a call for others to share their stories and experiences, stating that if her story could inspire even one person to take action for their health, it would all be worth it.
