Beverley Mitchell reveals she will have a C-section before her due date because her doctors are worried about health complications: ‘It’s a little scary’
She is currently expecting her third child with husband, Michael Cameron.
And as she nears the end of her pregnancy, Beverley Mitchell has revealed that she’s ‘not allowed to have contractions’ during the birth.
The 39-year-old shared that due to the health problems she’d experienced throughout her pregnancy, doctors found it to be too dangerous – so she’ll rather be having a scheduled C-section at 37 weeks.
Different pregnancy: Beverley Mitchell has revealed that due to health complications, she’s not allowed to have contractions with baby number three. She will instead have a c-section at 37-weeks
‘They’re actually fearful of me rupturing so they have to deliver me before I even get close to my due date,’ she told Us Weekly.
‘I’m actually not allowed to go into contractions or anything. It’s a little scary, but I think that’s why they are extra cautious. So they’ll take me at 37 weeks.’
The 7th Heaven alum shared she is having a C-section due to her ‘thin uterine wall’ as well as a lengthy health battle with conditions including, placenta accreta and skin cancer.
Not her first time! Beverley said she was at ease with her third pregnancy as she’s already the mother to two young children
At the start of Beverley’s pregnancy, doctors believed she was suffering from placenta accreta – meaning if she did, she would have had to have an ‘immediate hysterectomy.’
While she didn’t end up having the procedure, she was later victim to a skin cancer scare.
‘[I was] making sure I could get that removed while going through the pregnancy and going through [the COVID-19 pandemic],’ she told the publication on Wednesday.
But despite all the health setbacks, Beverley has revealed she’s more at ease about her pregnancy this time round.
Baby on the way! Beverley Mitchell of 7th Heaven fame revealed she was expecting her third child in March
‘When it’s your first, there are so many unknowns. It’s so exciting. You’re just wondering if we’re doing things right,’ she said.
‘The third one, you’re kind of like, “Yeah, I think I remember this. I think it sounds about right.”‘
‘I have to keep reminding myself what I am in control of and then letting go of what I’m not. I think that has helped me get through everything. … It’s a super crazy time if you’re, like, completely hormonal, emotional and big.’
Beverley revealed she was pregnant with her third child in March 2020.
The exciting announcement comes after she suffered from a miscarriage in 2018. She was expecting twins.

‘We are pregnant with our rainbow baby! So happy to partner with @clearblue to announce that we are in fact PREGNANT! The road hasn’t always been easy but it is so worth it! It is has been far but scarier this time around but just got a great checkup so we are feeling lucky!’
Beverley became engaged to her now accountant husband, Mitchell Cameron on New Year’s Eve in 2005.
They married in October 2008 in Ravello, Italy. Former 7th Heaven castmates Jessica Biel and Mackenzie Rosman served as bridesmaids.
The pair went on to welcome their two children, daughter Kenzie, six, and son, Hutton, five.
