Rolling Stone, Selena Gomez opens up about how her may inhibit her ability to carry her own children in the future. After visiting with a friend who is trying to get pregnant, Gomez said she broke down in tears: Due to the two medications she takes to treat her bipolar disorder, she says she “likely” won't be able to carry children of her own, writes Rolling Stone's Alex Morris.“That's a very big, big, present thing in my life," Gomez says.

While being unable to carry her own children is a significant loss, the 30-year-old has not completely given up on the idea of motherhood. “However I’m meant to have [kids], I will," she adds.

And there are options, like surrogacy or adoption, that she can choose if/when she decides to become a mother.Motherhood and mental illness are a complicated duo.

Making the decision to pursue pregnancy while living with a mental disorder is a very personal and complex decision, one best made with an OBGYN and mental health professional.
