Remember when Gal Gadot said she would love to give birth once a week?

Pregnancy comes with swollen feet, interrupted sleep, strange cravings, mood swings, and nine months of uncertainty, yet Gal Gadot once said she loved giving birth so much that she “would do it once a week if she could.” The comment, which resurfaced in interviews and fan pages over the years, always sparked the same reaction: surprise, disbelief, and curiosity. But behind this bold statement, there is a deeper, more emotional take on motherhood, strength, and the indescribable magic she associates with bringing a child into the world. To Gadot, childbirth isn't just some physical happening; it's a spiritual, empowering moment that she believes transforms her every single time.She wasn't romanticising pain, she was celebrating the power of the experienceWhen Gal Gadot made the statement, she admitted she wasn't obsessed with the contractions or the discomfort. Rather, it was the "moment after," when mothers finally meet their baby, the rush of love, relief, and connection that feels bigger than anything else. Many women can relate to that feeling: an instant rush of hormones, joy, and gratitude. Gadot described this as a moment of feeling "strong, emotional, and deeply human," one of those rare experiences that was worth repeating, despite the challenges of leading up to it. Labour, for her, is a reminder of a woman's strengthGal Gadot has spoken plenty of times about the resilience of women, especially while giving birth. She said that childbirth made her feel "like a lioness", powerful and fragile at the same time, afraid and determined. Many mothers feel this duality, and experts claim that this emotional mixture usually leads to a close connection between mother and baby. According to her, childbirth is a moment when women discover their courage in a very real, physical sense, and she feels that this is not emphasized enough by society.She deeply connected with the emotional high after birthSome mothers experience what professionals refer to as the post-birth emotional high: a temporary, natural euphoria caused by oxytocin and adrenaline. Gal Gadot described this as one of the most blissful feelings she's ever experienced. This hormonal wave often creates an overwhelming sense of love, purpose, and connection. For Gadot, that emotional high outweighed the pain, making the entire journey worth repeating.Her comment also reflected a personal love for motherhoodGadot has always spoken about how much she loves being a mom to her daughters and how motherhood provides a sense of grounding in her life. She once told the press that becoming a mother "helps me understand what's really important in life." It brings her so much joy, structure, and gratitude, something which she appreciates even more than glamour or fame. Her statement of wanting to give birth weekly comes from that same place of affection where the emotional reward feels larger than the physical challenge.But she also clarified: she doesn't want endless pregnancies, just that incredible moment that comes at the endIn a later clarification, the actress mentioned that though she jokingly said that she was giving birth "once a week," in her quiet moments, what she meant to emphasise was that she loved the result of childbirth: the emotional connection and the joy of meeting her baby, not necessarily the pregnancy itself. She conceded to exhaustion, nausea, and sleeplessness that accompany it, but insisted the final moment still remains one of the most magical experiences in her life.
