Gal Gadot shares her profound love for motherhood and describes the experience of giving birth as “magical.” In an interview with InStyle for the magazine’s February issue celebrating strong women, the 36-year-old Wonder Woman star spoke openly about her childbirth experiences. Gadot expressed her fondness for giving birth, stating that if given the chance, she would do it more frequently.

“I would do it once a week if I could,” she revealed. “It’s so magical. And I always opt for epidurals, to be honest, so it’s not as painful. Just the moment you feel like you’re creating life, it’s incredible.”

However, Gadot, who shares daughters Alma, aged 10, Maya, aged four, and eight-month-old Daniella with her husband Yaron Varsano, acknowledged the challenges of pregnancy for her. She mentioned struggling with migraines and feeling unwell during pregnancy, admitting that it’s a difficult time for her.

“The pregnancies are hard for me,” she shared. “I feel sick and have migraines. I’m not in my element.”

In addition to her reflections on childbirth, Gadot also delved into her protective nature concerning her three daughters. She emphasized that they are the one aspect of her life she endeavors to keep “as private as possible.”

“They’re the only thing I make sure to keep as private as possible,” she affirmed. “I want them to remain naive, safe, and protected. While I’m open to sharing a lot—I believe that if I’ve gone through experiences that others can relate to or learn from, that’s great—when it comes to my family, I’m very protective.”

“When you’re on set, you’re like a kite. You can fly so high and try to catch the air,” she explained about her life juggling her career and being a parent. “Then you go back home to do your main shift as being a mother.”
