Gal Gadot Suffers Brain Blood Clot While 8 Months Pregnant and on Bed Rest

Gal Gadot, known worldwide for her role as Wonder Woman, faced a real-life battle of her own while pregnant with her fourth child, Ori. The actress recently revealed she underwent emergency brain surgery after discovering a “massive” blood clot during her eighth month of pregnancy.

Gadot, 39, shared her harrowing experience in an emotional Instagram post, set to be published Sunday.

“In February, during my eighth month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in my brain,” she wrote. “For weeks, I endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed. Finally, an MRI revealed the terrifying truth. In one moment, my family and I were confronted with the fragility of life. It was a stark reminder of how quickly everything can change.”

Within hours of her diagnosis, Gadot underwent emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Despite the uncertainty and fear surrounding the situation, Ori was born safely during this critical time.

Gadot and her husband, film producer Jaron Varsano, are parents to four daughters: Alma, 13, Maya, 7, Daniella, 3, and Ori, now 9 months. Married since September 2008, the couple chose the name Ori, meaning “my light,” with deep personal significance.

“Before the surgery, I told Jaron that when our daughter arrived, she would be the light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel,” Gadot explained. “Thanks to an extraordinary team of doctors at @cedarssinai and weeks of dedicated care, I made it through and began my road to recovery. Today, I am fully healed and filled with gratitude for the life I’ve been given back.”

Gadot reflected on the lessons she learned from the ordeal, emphasizing the importance of listening to one’s body.

“Pain, discomfort, or even subtle changes often carry deeper meaning,” she wrote. “Being attuned to your body can be lifesaving.”

She also highlighted the need for awareness about cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), the condition she experienced. “I had no idea that 3 in 100,000 pregnant women in their 30s develop a blood clot in the brain. While rare, it’s treatable if identified early. Sharing this isn’t to frighten anyone but to empower. If even one person takes action for their health because of my story, it will have been worth sharing.”

Gadot first announced Ori’s birth in March, sharing a photo of herself cradling her newborn in a hospital bed. “My sweet girl, welcome,” she captioned the post. “The pregnancy was not easy, but we made it through.”

Through resilience and courage, Gadot has emerged from her health crisis with a renewed sense of gratitude, inspiring others to prioritize their well-being.
