Jennifer Lawrence Warns Pregnant Alex Cooper About the Brutal Realities of Childbirth— She opens up about the Guilt of motherhood
Jennifer Lawrence: “I'm so ruled by guilt. I'm trying not to be. you're never doing enough. You're never there enough. But if you're there too much, then, you know, they're too attached and then they're never going to go to school.”
“I don't think I've ever just gotten into bed and been like, ‘Wow. God, I'm such a good mom.’ And I know I'm a good mom. I know.”
She explains how hard it is to give yourself credit as a parent when you love your kids so much that you constantly feel like you should be doing more.
Jennifer Lawrence: “You know, your vagina will bounce back, your butt hole won't.”
Alex Cooper: “I don't know if I needed to hear that before giving birth.”
Alex: “Wow. Wow, Jen.”
Jennifer Lawrence: “You're unprepared for all of it. Like, all of it. And everybody's like, ‘Your instincts, your instincts!’ You have no idea what you're doing.”
Alex Cooper: “i remember women being like, ‘You'll be able to hear the difference with the cries.’ And then I'm like, ‘I can't hear the difference with the cries.’ I'm like, ‘I'm such a bad mom.’”
Alex Cooper: “Jen, what's going to happen to my butt hole?”
Jennifer Lawrence: “I'll tell you. When once I can get into a heated place, I'll show you.”
Alex Cooper: “No one said that to me yet. And I've had someone be like, ‘Do you want to see my birth video?’ And I'm like, ‘No, because I don't want to know yet.’”
Jennifer Lawrence: “That person sounds really, really gross and weird.”
Alex Cooper: “You, literally five minutes ago.”
