Jennifer Lawrence Bravely Shares Postpartum Anxiety Struggles with Two Sons

Acclaimed actress Jennifer Lawrence is bravely sharing her personal journey as a mother of two young sons. According to the article, the 35-year-old welcomed her second child earlier this year, joining her 3-year-old son Cy.

After the birth of her second son, whose name and birth date have not been publicly revealed, Lawrence experienced significant postpartum anxiety. She recalled thinking her newborn was dead whenever he was sleeping, and believed he cried because he disliked his life, her, or his family. Lawrence felt she was doing everything wrong and feared she would ruin her children.

To address these challenges, the "Don't Look Up" star took Zurzuvae, a recently developed medication to treat postpartum depression. The article states that the medication quickly and significantly helped alleviate her symptoms. Lawrence also shared a touching moment when she started crying while asking the AI system ChatGPT a question about breastfeeding, and the system reassured her that she was "doing the amazing thing" for her baby and was "such a loving mother."

The actress decided to make herself an easy target for paparazzi after having her children, rather than engaging in a "cat-and-mouse" game, as she wanted her kids to feel her calm energy rather than nervousness when leaving the house. Lawrence and her husband, Cooke Maroney, whom she married in 2019, are now settling into life as a family of four, with a source describing the actress as having a "great attitude" and being "meant to be a mom."
