Intimates brand knixwear enlisted the help of celebrities like Christy Turlington, Jemima Kirke and Amy Schumer to show the reality of giving birth.
In fact, the founder and ceo of intimates brand Knix enlisted the help of celebrities like Christy Turlington, Ricki Lake, Amy Schumer and actress Jemima Kirke and her sister Domino Kirke to share photos and stories of giving birth and the postpartum experience.
“I had a family member ask me how much weight they thought I had lost during the delivery,” she said. “I couldn’t even answer it. I was so caught off guard. I was like, ‘Well, my baby weighed nine-and-a-half pounds. The placenta probably weighed a few pounds. I lost a lot of blood. I lost my amniotic fluid.’ And then I was like, you know what, this is insane. How about all the things that I just gained through this experience? But it’s not her fault. It’s what society has programmed us to do.
“I just wasn’t informed,” said Domino Kirke, mother of a 10-year-old son and cofounder of Carriage House Birth. “I knew so much about giving birth. But I didn’t know about what comes next. There’s a lot of grief when you become a new parent because you’re letting go of your old self. The exhibit was really borne out of a need for everyone to start talking about what postpartum really is.”
“I wish I could go back in time and tell [a younger version of myself that] she’s doing just fine,” said Katie Vigos, mother of three, founder of Empowered Birth Project and a registered nurse. “She’s doing more than enough…and that it’s OK to feel what she feels and ask for support — lots more support.”
