For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth.&#x27; </p><p>&quot;In one moment, 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 midst of a difficult year, all I wanted was to hold on and live. We rushed to the hospital, and within hours, I underwent emergency surgery,&quot; Gadot shared.</p><p>&quot;My daughter Ori, was born during that moment of uncertainty and fear. Her name, meaning &#x27;my light,&#x27; wasn’t chosen by chance. 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.&quot;</p><p>Gadot, who also appeared in the &quot;Fast and The Furious&quot; movies, said she is now fully healed.</p><p>&quot;Today, I am fully healed and filled with gratitude for the life I’ve been given back.&quot;</p><p>She also shared the lessons she learned from her experience -- from listening to your body and awareness of what might be happening to you. </p><p>&quot;The journey has taught me so much. First, it’s vital to listen to our bodies and trust what it’s telling us. Pain, discomfort, or even subtle changes often carry deeper meaning, and being attuned to your body can be life saving.&#x27; </p><p>&quot;Second, awareness matters. I had no idea that 3 in 100,000 pregnant women in the 30s+ age group are diagnosed with CVT(develop a blood clot in the brain). It’s so important to identify early because it’s treatable. While rare, it’s a possibility, and knowing it exists is the first step to addressing it.&#x27;</p><p>&quot;Sharing this is not meant to frighten anyone but to empower. If even one person feels compelled to take action for their health because of this story, it will have been worth sharing.&quot;</p><p>Gadot&#x27;s latest life challenge came as their family celebrates Hanukkah, a Jewish festival of light.</p><p>&quot;Giving birth is a miracle, a testament to the strength and resilience of our bodies and spirits. But it also demands so much from us, reminding us to care for ourselves as fiercely as we care for others. As we celebrate Hanukkah, a holiday of light and miracles, I reflect on the personal miracle I was granted.&#x27;</p><p>&quot;My daughter, Ori, is a constant reminder of resilience, hope, and the strength we carry within. My wish is that we all find our light, experience our own miracles, and continue to advocate for our health and for one another 💛 Happy Hanukkah, and may this year bring us all health, strength, and light.&quot;</p><p>Gadot  gave birth to her baby girl Ori last March, her fourth child with husband Jaron Varsano. .</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/3/6/-wonder-woman-gal-gadot-gives-birth-to-fourth-child-743" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&#x27;Wonder Woman&#x27; Gal Gadot gives birth to fourth child</a></div><p>Gadot and Varsano tied the knot in 2008.
