Cobie Smulders: I Thought I Would Never Have Children

Following a battle with ovarian cancer at the age of 25, Cobie Smulders feared she would never have children, but is now blessed to be a mother of two.

The actress has nine-year-old daughter Shaelyn and a three-year-old son with her husband Tarran Killam, but spent years worrying she may never experience motherhood.

Cobie has been in remission for over a decade, following surgery that left her with a third of her ovaries.

She told People magazine: "I've always been very maternal, I've always loved children and I've always wanted one of my own.

"Having that not being an option, especially at such a young age, it was really hard and it was a really depressing thing to go through."

The How I Met Your Mother star kept her cancer battle a secret until a 2015 interview with Women's Health, when she decided that speaking up may help other women who went through the same struggle.
