Former Bachelorette Andi Dorfman recounts her daughter Harper's birth, detailing a lengthy and challenging labor that spanned 28 hours. She shares the highs and lows of the experience, from the initial 'smooth sailing' to the agonizing pushing for over two hours. Dorfman also describes the unexpected silence after Harper's birth and the relief when medical staff helped her baby to breathe.
Andi Dorfman is settling into her life as a new mom and after one week at home, she is ready to share her daughter’s birth story.
Dorfman, who shares Harper with husband Blaine Hart, joked those were her “famous last words” because 12 hours later she was “still fully dilated but no baby girl.” Her final round of pushing came close to 4:30 a.m. but it wasn’t like the movies. “I was immediately expecting to hear ‘that cry’ and for her to be placed in my arms,” Dorfman explained. “ but she was silent 😢.”She remembered that after the doctor cut Harper’s umbilical cord she was transferred to an infant warmer bed “where an entire team of nurses and doctors rushed in the room to help.
“Harper Bell Hart, we love you!” she added, teasing, “If you could keep the scares to a minimum, we’d appreciate it but thank you for capping off a wonderful 2024 for us 🎉 🥂 🎀.” She explained that Hart chose their daughter’s middle name, which is short for “Bellissima,” which means “beautiful” in Italian.
The family of three enjoyed their first Christmas together before Dorfman had a health scare of her own.
