She and hubby Kanye West are considering surrogacy.

Sunday’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” reveals she underwent unsuccessful surgery to repair her uterus and was told carrying another baby would be too dangerous.

“I can’t carry anymore kids … it’s the worst,” she told friend Jonathan Cheban. “It’s not going to be happy for me.. I had a full break down … I give up.”

She says that after talking to Kanye, “I think that I always knew that surrogacy was an option, but I didn’t think it was that realistic of an option. Now, I feel like that’s my reality.”

“I feel like surrogacy really is the only other option for me.”

If the Wests choose gestational surrogacy, she’ll use in vitro fertilization.

According to WebMD, “In the U.S., gestational surrogacy is less complex legally. That’s because both intended parents have genetic ties to the baby. As a result, gestational surrogacy has become more common than a traditional surrogate. About 750 babies are born each year using gestational surrogacy.”
