Sсһeаnа Sһаy ‘Cаn’t Cаrry Anotһer Bаby’ аs Sһe Is ‘Very Hіgһ-Rіsk’

Scheana Shay is candidly discussing her fertility health. The Vanderpump Rules star has been open about the challenges, both mental and physical, of conceiving again. And the issue came up again during a recent episode of her podcast.

The Good As Gold singer shares three-year-old daughter Summer Moon with husband Brock Davies. Recently, the couple have been discussing their options for expanding their family. Scheana revealed that she has been discouraged from carrying another child due to her high-risk status.

Scheana Shay’s HELLP syndrome diagnosis puts her at high risk for complications

On the October 18 episode of Scheananigans with Scheana Shay, the Bravolebrity revealed she is following doctor’s advice. As a result, she and Brock are discussing other options to give Summer a sibling.

Brock “really wants to expand [their] family.” However, due to Scheana’s HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelets) diagnosis after giving birth to Summer, the couple have to use alternate methods.

“As much as I want to give Summer a sibling she can grow up with — like she has two older siblings in Australia from his previous marriage, but they are not in her life, unfortunately, I also had HELLP syndrome and I’m very high-risk and now going into turning 40, I can’t carry another baby. My doctor’s like ‘Absolutely not.’ Adoption or surrogacy are the options that we have,” the VPR star shared with listeners.

It’s been a months-long discussion within the family. In August 2024, Scheana also discussed family planning with listeners. Despite her anxiety about carrying a child herself, she and Brock decided “to just take the next steps to see about fertilizing the eggs” she had frozen.

“[We will] see if we have any embryos. That’s as far mentally as I can go … We have the consult today. And then we need to get the eggs transferred over to the new facility,” the reality TV star shared at the time. “But I know because we do have to go the surrogate route it’s going to be a year and a half, two years before we would even have a baby. So hopefully, by then I’m mentally a little stronger.”

Vanderpump Rules is currently streaming on Peacock.
