Andi Dorfman is back in the hospital for a “minor setback” just days after becoming a mother.
The Bachelorette alum shared the health update on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Dec. 28 — eight days after giving birth to Harper Bell Hart.
In the Instagram snap, Dorfman is seen wearing a hospital gown, smiling from her hospital bed and cuddling baby Harper in her arms.
“Welp, we’re back!” the new mom, 37, wrote on the photo. “This time for Mama (a minor setback and need a quick/safe procedure) but got to get a quick snuggle with this little nugget first 🥹 also never been less excited for anesthesia (motherhood changes you quick 😆).”

While the reality star didn’t offer any more details about her health issue or the procedure, she did advise her followers to always trust their instincts when it comes to their bodies.
“Lesson Learned: No matter how clueless you are about motherhood, you still know your body best! Listen to it!” she wrote. “Yes, recovery is tough and everyone is different but your instincts are valid (and probably right).”
Dorfman had welcomed her first baby with husband Blaine Hart on Friday, Dec. 20. The couple, who wed in May 2023, waited two days to reveal the baby’s name in Instagram post on Dec. 22.
“Introducing … Harper Bell Hart 💗 Our sweet girl came into this world at a solid 7lbs 13 ounces and towering tall like her Daddy at 20.5 inches!” they wrote in a joint Instagram post. “We are more in love with her than we could ever have imagined. I cry on the spot just looking at her and Dad is completely wrapped around her cute little finger.”
“He even chose her middle name which is short for Bellissima, the Italian word for ‘beautiful,’ ” she continued, adding that it’s “an ode to a place that has been a magical part of so many milestones in our lives and now will continue to be a part of her for forever.”
The proud mom concluded, “Thank you for all the amazing well wishes you have sent and an enormous thanks to our girl for making us the most mushy, proud, sappy parents ever! This is truly the best gift we have ever received 💕🥹🙌🏻.”
