Am I going to die: Gal Gadot recalls suffering massive 'brain clot' while eight months pregnant with daughter Ori

Opening up about her health scare, Gadot, who is best known for performing the role of onscreen Wonder Woman, thanked her caregivers and doctors who saved her and her daughter.

“I was eight months pregnant, juggling family, work and everything in-between when I started to feel the kind of headache that makes the world stop for three weeks," she told Variety.

Sharing that her mother convinced her to go for an MRI on Feb. 5, 2024, the onscreen super hero said: "Before we even got back home, my phone rang, and my doctor said, ‘You need to come to the hospital right now. It’s serious. You have a massive brain clot.'"

Gadot said she diagnoised suffering with cerebral venous thrombosis or CVT.

She told Variety: “From that moment, I just could not understand anything. English was out the window. My husband was speaking to different doctors, and all I could think was, am I going to die? Is this how it feels before you die? Are they going to be able to save me?…Is the baby going to be okay?’”

She said her daughter delievered within the next three hours.

“The next morning, while my husband held our tiny newborn, my incredible doctors performed the procedure that saved my life, and when I woke up, I realized that I had been given two gifts, one in my arms, Ori and one in my heart, a second chance,” Gadot said. “Cedars-Sinai, you gave me that chance.”

Last December, Gadot had shared the challenge she faced in her life during the pregnancy period on Instagram.

Gal was recently honoured with the Hollywood Icon Award by the Women’s Guild Cedars-Sinai at the Snow Ball gala.
