Writing on Instagram, Gadot said the past year had been “one of profound challenges and deep reflections”, and that she had been unsure whether to share details of her health emergency.
“Perhaps this is my way of processing everything, of pulling back the curtain on the fragile reality behind the curated moments we share on social media,” she wrote.
“Most of all, I hope that by sharing, I can raise awareness and support others who may face something similar.”
She explained: “In February, during my eighth month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in my brain.
“For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth.
“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.”
