Andi Dorfman underwent “fast/safe procedure” in the hospital less than a week after giving birth.
“Hello, we’re back! This time for mom (a minor setback and needs a quick/safe procedure) but first I gave this little nugget a quick snuggle,” Dorfman, 37, wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, Dec. 28, sharing a hospital selfie with her young daughter.
She added: “The lesson: No matter how clueless you are about motherhood, you still know your body best! Listen to it! Yes, recovery is hard and everyone is different, but your instincts are valid (and probably correct).

“It was getting worse every day,” she recalled Saturday. “Despite the internet saying it takes time to recover, I still felt something was wrong and finally after trying all the home remedies I called my doctors and they told me to come in right away.”
Dorfman was diagnosed “one large and one small hematoma” which made her uncomfortable. According to the Cleveland Clinic, a hematoma is defined as a closed wound where blood collects and fills a space inside your body because it cannot flow or drain.

The former lawyer went on to stress the importance of trusting “your body” and your instincts when something feels off.
“Trust that your doctors really care about your health and well-being, and don’t be afraid to reach out to them,” Dorfman concluded. “I felt guilty for worrying about myself instead of my daughter, but I realized she’s no good when I’m no good.” I hope this helps anyone who is doubting their postpartum recovery.”
