Jennifer Lawrencewasn’t sure what to expect out of motherhood at first.
Speaking in the October issue ofVogue, theDon’t Look Upactress admitted that 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,” she explained. “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.’ "

Lawrence said inVanity Fair’s December issue that she hopes to “protect” her child’s"privacy” as much as possible.
“I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence,” Lawrence added. “And I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work.”
