Gal Gadot Reveals She Underwent Emergency Surgery for “Massive” Blood Clot In Her Brain During Pregnancy: “All I Wanted Was to Hold On and Live”

by

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds, I can’t help but feel a profound respect for Gal Gadot, a real-life superhero if ever there was one. Her story is a poignant reminder that life, much like a challenging RPG, often throws unexpected obstacles our way.

Facing a “massive” blood clot in her brain during pregnancy must have felt like a boss battle of epic proportions. Yet, she bravely fought through it, just as my character would when faced with a formidable foe. Her daughter Ori, born amidst uncertainty and fear, is indeed the light that guided her through that dark tunnel, much like the beacon on a lighthouse guiding lost ships home.

What truly inspires me, though, is Gal’s resilience and wisdom gained from this harrowing experience. She underscores the importance of listening to our bodies, just as we must listen to our game controllers for subtle cues in our favorite games. And she emphasizes the need for awareness, much like the heads-up displays in games that alert us to impending dangers.

In the spirit of virtual camaraderie, I’d like to joke that maybe Gal should have seen this “CVT” (Cerebral Venous Thrombosis) coming with her character’s high agility score in Wonder Woman! But in all seriousness, her story is a powerful reminder to us all: listen to our bodies, stay aware, and remember that sometimes, the real world can be more challenging – and rewarding – than any game.

Gal Gadot disclosed that she had an emergency operation to remove a large blood clot in her brain, which occurred during her eighth month of pregnancy.

On her Instagram account, Gal Gadot, famous for playing Wonder Woman, disclosed details about the health crisis she experienced earlier this year. “During my eighth month of pregnancy in February, I was diagnosed with a large blood clot in my brain,” she wrote. “For weeks, I had been battling intense headaches that left me bedridden, until an MRI revealed the alarming reality. In an instant, my family and I were confronted with the fragility of life. It was a harsh reminder of how swiftly things can change, and amidst a challenging year, all I desired was to keep strong and carry on living.

Gadot went on to say, “We quickly made our way to the hospital, and within a matter of hours, I found myself in an emergency operation. It was during this time of anxiety and doubt that Ori was born. The meaning behind her name, ‘my light,’ wasn’t picked randomly. Prior to my surgery, I told Jaron that when our daughter finally arrived, she would be the beacon of hope at the end of this long, dark tunnel.

As a thrilled admirer, I’m excited to share that it’s me, the Heart of Stone star herself, announcing the arrival of my fourth daughter, Ori, born to Jaron Varsano and me in early March. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the remarkable team at Cedars Sinai Hospital for their exceptional care during my delivery. Now, fully recovered, I’m filled with immense gratitude for the precious life I’ve been blessed with once more.

Gal Gadot explained why she chose to reveal her “private experience,” hoping it would offer a glimpse into the “vulnerable truth hidden beneath the carefully arranged posts we see on social networks.

Throughout this journey, I’ve learned invaluable lessons,” Gadot penned. “One key takeaway is the importance of heeding our bodies’ signals and trusting their messages. Often, signs like pain, unease, or even minor changes hold significant meanings, and being aware of your body can be a matter of life and death.

“Two points: Firstly, understanding is crucial. I was unaware that around 3 out of every 100,000 pregnant women over the age of 30 are diagnosed with CVT (brain clots). This condition, while rare, can be treated effectively if identified early. Therefore, it’s essential to raise awareness about its existence. I’m not trying to scare anyone but rather to inform and empower. If this knowledge encourages just one person to prioritize their health, then sharing this information will have been worthwhile.
