"Pregnancy immediately after loss is whole other thing," Kirke wrote, captioning a photo of her growing baby bump. Soon after two miscarriages in a row we were prepared to call it. I stopped trusting my body and began to accept the fact that I was done. As a birth attendant, I've seen and heard it all. It takes everything I've got to detach lovingly from the losses I've Been present for and be in my own experience."


Kirke went on to explain that 10 years back, she knew nothing about pregnancy and childbirth. Yet a decade later, right after accruing experience as a doula, she feels more prepared than ever. As soon as I was pregnant at 25, I knew nothing. I had no community," she wrote. "I dove in blissfully unaware about birth and its mysteries. Right now, with 10 years worth of experience to pull from, I treasure my birth community and the knowledge I have."

"He doesn't have to be 'dad' so he can have more fun with him," she mentioned. "It's really nice. The stepparent thing is certainly unchartered territory for me cause I didn't grow up with one, nevertheless … he takes care of him really well."
