Jennifer Lawrence said it was scary to talk about motherhood
Lawrence appeared in an interview after giving birth to her first child and discussed the challenging times she went through while pregnant. The actress didn’t hold back while discussing the areas where she had the most difficulty before the birth of her child. JLaw mentioned that as pregnancy experiences can be different from woman to woman, it was hard for her to comment. The 32-year-old actress said,
“It’s so scary to talk about motherhood. Only because it’s so different for everybody. If I say, It was amazing from the start, some people will think, ‘It wasn’t amazing for me at first, and feel bad.’ Fortunately, I have so many girlfriends who were honest. Who were like, ‘It’s scary. You might not connect right away. You might not fall in love right away.’ So I felt so prepared to be forgiving.”
In the same interview, Lawrence recalled the morning when she gave birth to her son. The Joy actress said it felt like it was a new beginning of her life. Lawrence described how she felt in the first few days following the birth of her child. She claimed that she felt awful, guilty, and questioned whether she was doing the right thing or not.
