Gal Gadot, renowned for her role as Wonder Woman, recently disclosed a harrowing health ordeal during her fourth pregnancy. In an Instagram post dated December 29, 2024, Gadot revealed that in February, during her eighth month of pregnancy, she was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in her brain.

Gadot suffered from terrible headaches that kept her in bed for weeks. An MRI eventually uncovered the severe condition, leading to an emergency hospital admission. During the urgent surgery at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, her daughter Ori was born. The name Ori, meaning “my light” in Hebrew, was chosen to symbolize the hope and light Gadot clung to during this perilous time.

Gadot also brought attention to cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), noting that while it is rare—affecting approximately 3 in 100,000 pregnant women over 30—it is a serious condition that requires early detection and treatment.
