The 39-year-old said she received the "terrifying" diagnosis in her eighth month of pregnancy, in February, after she had suffered weeks of "excruciating" headaches.

"We rushed to the hospital, and within hours, I underwent emergency surgery," she wrote on Instagram.

The Israeli actress said she chose the name, which means "my light" in Hebrew, because her daughter "would be the light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel".
