Jennifer Lawrence is widely acclaimed for being an action actress due to her portrayal as the mutant Mystique in the X-Men film series and Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games film series. However, she also explored different genres and took a brief break due to the media scrutiny she faced regarding her role choices.
She went back to acting however it was not all good for her, especially in her personal life. The actress opened up about her own experience with miscarriages that happened twice in her life.
Jennifer Lawrence Shared Her Experience with Miscarriage
The 32-year-old actress, Jennifer Lawrence in a 2022 October issue in Vogue opened up about dealing with miscarriage twice in her life. She got candid about getting pregnant for the first time when she was in her early 20s.
She shared, “I had a miscarriage alone in Montreal.”
She further added that she had “one hundred percent intended to get an abortion” at the time but she had a miscarriage before she could take further steps. It was not the only time that she had to go through a tragic event as it happened again in 2020.
Jennifer Lawrence Had a Second Miscarriage After Her Marriage With Cooke Maroney
The Hunger Games star further added how she went through the same experience once again when she wanted a baby with her husband, Cooke Maroney. She got pregnant again while filming Don’t Look Up in 2020 but suffered another miscarriage.
During that, she was required to get a D&C, a surgical procedure where tissue is removed from the uterus. She also shared her thoughts on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“I remember a million times thinking about it while I was pregnant.” she shared. “Thinking about the things that were happening to my body. And I had a great pregnancy. I had a very fortunate pregnancy. But every single second of my life was different. And it would occur to me sometimes: What if I was forced to do this?”
She married Maroney in October 2019 with the duo welcoming their first son, Cy in February last year. She was initially tight-mouthed to keep her son out of the spotlight as much as possible, however, she eventually revealed his name.
She shared that back in 2021 while she was expecting her son,
“Every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can.”
She also shared how she started feeling an abundance of love for babies after having her son.
“My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about.”
She opened up about how welcoming her baby eventually expanded her horizon as she stated,
“I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing.”
She talked about having a “different [motherhood experience] for everybody,” as her girlfriends shared their “scary” experiences in the beginning but it eventually helped her prepare to be forgiving. Though her first two pregnancies were tragic, she received much blessing and love for her first child with the duo keeping their personal life low-key.
