“In February, during my eighth month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in my brain,” Gadot wrote. “For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that kept me in bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth.
“At one point, my family and I were faced with how fragile life can be. It was a stark reminder of how quickly everything can change, and in the middle of a difficult year, all I wanted to do was hold on and live.”
She continued: “We rushed to the hospital and, within hours, I was undergoing emergency surgery. My daughter, Ori, was born during that time of uncertainty and fear. Her name, which means ‘my light,’ was not chosen by coincidence. 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.
