Candiace Dillard Bassett is on the mend.
Six weeks after welcoming her and husband Chris Bassett's first child together, a son named Jack, The Real Housewives of Potomac alum revealed she's experiencing some post-baby health complications.
"I have a blood clot in my left ovary, and I'm having to do blood thinners because of that," Candiace exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker at the Ebony Power 100 Gala in New York City Nov. 17. "But it's working, it's fine. I'm doing my shots twice a day and just looking at my son and realizing that, whatever hapens, it's all worth it."
Noting that she "had a time just getting out of labor," the 37-year-old jokingly added, "Post-partum is ghetto. Put that on a shirt."
However, Candiace wouldn't change her motherhood journey for the world.
"It's other-worldly," the "Drive Back" singer gushed of her first few weeks with Jack. "It's an amazing, indescribable feeling. I don't yet have words to explain it. I'm a different person, a different woman. I'm new. I'm also tired and a little raggedy at times."
And nearly two months after Jack's Oct. 3 arrival, Candiace was finally ready to make her red carpet return during the Ebony bash. Well, sort of.
"This is my first outing a mom, so I'm trying to stand grounded," she told E!. "But I'm literally looking at his videos and photos every five minutes."
As for her stunning first post-pregnancy look, the Bravo star quipped of her gown, "It took a village. It took about three people to suck my up into it. I have a corset on."
And while Candiace has been basking in every second of motherhood as of late, there's one past time Candiace has not been enjoying while taking care of a newborn: Binging the latest season of RHOP.
"I have not been watching," Candiace, who left the series earlier this year after six seasons, admitted. "I have been in a bubble of piece and honestly just very consumed with post-partum and a baby and adjusting. But I wish them well. I've very happy with the way we stepped aside and it was necessary for my peace. I don't regret it."
As for a possible future return? She added, "I never say never."
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
