Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence has revealed she suffered multiple miscarriages before giving birth to her son, whose name and sex she has revealed for the first time.

Speaking with Vogue, the Hunger Games star said she "had a miscarriage alone in Montreal" in her early 20s, when she intended to get an abortion. She also revealed she became pregnant a few years ago while shooting the movie Don't Look Up and had a second miscarriage. At the time, she was married and wanted to have a baby. "She had to get a D&C, the surgical procedure by which tissue is removed from the uterus," Vogue reports.
